Thrustmaster Topgun with the detatchable throttle on the side of the base?  Or was that the Topgun Afterburner?  Either way, I had one years ago and got rid of it, was too spiky.  The Topgun was the beginning of the decline of Thrustmaster.  Yours may be ok, try it.  If it works, bonus free stick.

If you dont want it I'll buy the Hatswich from it from ya.
Provided it works.

Im still using  and loving a 6 Year old TM Xfighter.
But I haveta replace the Hatswitch now and again.
I keep getting lucky and comming across TG Sticks (which are too small for my hand)
the Xfighter is perfect size for me and has my ever important Pinky button that I use  in combination with the Hat for Alt views.

Anyway I just keep pulling the hatswitched out of the TG sticks and scrapping the rest

Most of the parts in my FLCS and WCS MkII are now past 10-years old...

Just imagine that. They're 3 or 4 times as old as pretty much the second-oldest components in my comptuers. Yipes.
