Joe, at $100 to replace a switch you would be better off getting one of the base model sticks from Virpil, or VKB.

Just saying.

 :cheers:

Been working the little women over and I think shes going to be ok with me getting a new stick. I think she still loves after 43 years..... either that or I keep her just drunk enough that she doesnt notice the difference   :P

Iterations of Thrustmaster served me well for a couple of decades. The stick gimbals wear though and the resulting play in the stick has put the brand in my rear view.

Nice!

I suggest this 4 minute video on how to calibrate the stick. After that you're ready to map it in AH. I didn't need to calibrate the rudders before AH but it's the same method for all of their stuff and it's simple enough even for me.
