I own a Saitek Cyborg Evo joystick (not the wireless kind), and have had it for about a year now. The back trigger is gone, and it's not as responsive as it used to be. It creaks when moved and turned on the roll axis too. Are there any guides on the 'net as to how to give it a proper scrub-down and reassemble it, or should I just give it a burial (ebay floggage)?

bury it and be glad you got a year out of it, my trigger died in 6 months.


i squeezed another month out of it by opening the thing up, and resoldering the wires to the connector thing-o-mo-bob, but after a PVP encounter in DS it finally gave out. quick look online showed that i wasn't alone, and the trigger mechanism is kind of shoddy. i had figured as much by how cheap it looked when i opened the thing up.
