getting OMG

Post by circuscommando »

just ordered OMG from amazon. haven't fixed my sticks yet (going to try maybe this week if i can decode (IE: for morons) menthol's fixit suggestion.

since then however, i have been getting better at using the DC controller, liking it, it is a much different feel.

Did you ever open your Twin Sticks to identify the problem?

What's the problem again?

In the last photo (of the open stick), also check where the wires connect to the PCB, and make sure the connection is solid.

the left stick seems(ed) to have problems with turning left directions
\ up left
-- left
/ bottom left

i didn't get a chance to try the twinsticks yesterday, but will try again today (am at school currently).

i'm fairly sure that the wires connecting to the PCB were solid. none seemed loose (and i didn't know how to test besides giving a gentle tug on each one) is there a way i can just push them in?
thanks -D

My previous suggestion (regarding the PCB at the top of each stick) only applies to the weapon and trigger buttons.

For the various wires that have connectors in the base, you can push them in to ensure they are connected.
