I will definitely do that as soon as I have some after market magnets. The package is waiting for me at the post office, so I'll probably get to it during the weekend. As in how did I attach the magnets? As I wrote in my original post I went after what Pilotasso had originally posted here. Got rid of the plastic magnet mount and put them beneath the hall sensor leaving a gap off aprox. 2-3 mm. I'll make some pics next time I open the stick. BTW. I found this ready made, print it yourself plastic part to increase the spring tension. http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:19253 Don't you just love the world of 3D printing? Now to find a place to print it :)

Thanks for the tip. I've deleted those reg keys, the os has recreated them and that seems to help a bit. I can now draw circles in Joytester with more ease and confidence. So it's mandatory to reset the calibration data after the magnet mod. There's still room for improvement dough, because the software courser reaches 100% when I still have some space to move the stick. It's like 80-85% to 100% now. I'll try to see if different magnet sizes influence the resolution. Jeszcze raz serdeczne dzięki Bucic. Don't you just hate when you have to tweak everything you buy? Especially stuff thats a bit expensive.

Response to the physical shift decreased. 75% = 100% Sorry for necromancing this post but I need some advice from people who did the magnet mod. I've done it to my new X52 Pro in a way similar to the OP's. I've put those two original magnets on a 1mm metal washer (wiki says that's the proper english word for the metal ring you put under the nut) and used blue tack to attach this to the sprocket shape plastic part. The distance from the magnet to the sensor is roughly 2mm. In result I'm able to make circular traces in JoyTester2 but the joystick is now supper sensitive. JoyTester shows that the 3/4 of the physical stick shift translates into 100% software response. That's not really the way it should be because I loose the resolution of movement. What should I change to address this issues? Should I increase the distance between the magnets and the sensor? Use one magnet? Maybe the washer is to be blamed? I've ordered some different magnets, so I'll see if this helps, but right now I'm really sorry I went on with this mod and have voided my warranty. Thanks for any help
