Maggot Posted February 3, 2021 Posted February 3, 2021 Hello!I have a Gunfighter mk2 (rev B) with MCG pro, and extension. About 3 years old now. Last year I had issues with the axes going out of calibration with movement of the stick. This was fixed by replacing a cable in the base, where the wire kept coming loose from the connector when the stick was moved... Lately another issue has appeard, which is that movement of the stick causes presses of different buttons, mostly 9, 18 and 23.My guess would be that this also is caused by the cables moving inside the base with stick movement. I did find an older forum post with the same issue (actually the exact same buttons) where the issue seemed to be cable related. So my question would be - do you think this is the case, and would an electronics upgrade to mk3 solve the problem? If not... suggestions?

Maggot Posted February 3, 2021 Author Posted February 3, 2021 Have you tried re-seating the grip?I have removed the extention from the base when I opened up the gimbal to look for loose wires (found none) if that’s what you mean? But I haven’t removed the grip from the extention.

But I haven’t removed the grip from the extention. I would just to re-seat everything and rule that out. I had some weird button behavior in my previous Mk I Gunfighter and doing that resolved it.

I've had similar issues before and reseating fixed it, the extension on both ends and the grip in bottom of course all have contacts, if these get dirty or loose or something, it'll cause trouble. I also had some of the internal nuts come loose, making the whole assembly rock around and caused a lot of issues. Де вороги, знайдуться козаки їх перемогти. 5800x3d * 3090 * 64gb * Reverb G2
