Cougar Microstick problems, where to get, how to clean?

[Zeke]

Hi,

 

The Microstick on my Cougar Throttle is all of a sudden not working right. When I set it up as a Mouse it drifts down and I cannot stop it, and that's a pain when trying to use the computer normally. Also, if I use a profile that uses the microstick to input key presses, they stick and keep repeating the same commands.

 

I've read that others have had these problems and was looking for a little advise about how to first clean the mircostick pot, and if that fails, where to buy a new one. I've e-mailed reddog from the old Cougar website, but I don't even know how old a post that is. Still no reply.

 

Any advise would be appreciated before I tear into this thing...

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Lou
