Joystick Sticky Triggers/Buttons

TNGL · 23 Oct 2011 at 23:48

I'm hoping somebody can help me out with this...
I have a Saitek X52, which when I bought it, it was worth £80, so quite a bit for a joystick + throttle. I used in BF2 and BF2142, and haven't used it since, I then tried to use it the other day and the buttons are quite 'sticky', and make rubbing noises when I push the triggers. If I sprayed some WD40 in to what's holding the triggers/buttons, will that sort it? I'd really like to use this joystick for Battlefield 3.

WD40 or Servisol Super 10 switch cleaner. Personally I would use the switch cleaner but WD40 should be fine.

Okay, thanks mate. I will give it a try closer to the time

Okay, I'll use this servisol stuff then, is it easy to get hold off?

Place I suggested got filtered. But it's a high street chain who's name starts with Map.

Okay, thank you.

Just an update: Servisol 10 arrived today, I took the joystick apart and cleaned the trigger, I also used it to clean some residue from some of the sensors and now the axis are detected better as well.
Thanks.
