Chosen Solution
Does anyone have a suggestion to how I might repair a Hotas 4 with stuttering yaw controls? The stick itself seem fine but sometimes the yaw stutters or sticks in game.
Here you go. Found this forum while looking for a cure for this issue and signed up to share the answer. No parts needed. https://imgur.com/gallery/ob06FmA
i had some stutter in my pitch control, and it was squeaking. i regreased the joystick, it lessened the squeaking and the stuttering at lower resistance. didn’t solve it entirely. used silicone lubricant, spray type. i hope it helps edit: i fixed my stuttering pitch control completely. follow this guide until step 6,
- turned the joystick upside down & did not take out the spring nor clean off the red grease, but instead applied more, used silicone lubricant, spray type., . sprayed the rails (where the joystick makes contact with the housing), once when joystick is neutral and at then at the 8 directions. (total 16 times)when you put the cap back on, i moved the joystick to negative pitch (the direction where it was stuttering), and screwed on the cap.before i reassembled the thing, plugged the joystick on to the computer and stuttering is gone.
