Hi all, another new HOTAS Warthog owner here.. reporting that mine has also a slack problem on the x axis (no deadzone).
Emailed Thrustmaster support and they consider it a "non issue" that develops with time, even if i have used it for less than a month.
I'm a bit dissappointed with their reply, but honestly i don't consider this issue a game breaker.

Anyway, i'm afraid to open the stick to see if there's something i can do to fix it, but i might do it in the future if it gets worse.
Cheers
