Chandler -

You can cut the top 360 degrees off the spring with a Dremel cutoff tool, that reduces the work require to operate the stick by about half.

Frank Clarke -

In logitech 3d extreme, the middle joystick loosens over time, there is a slight gap when turning it to the right and left. Is there a solution to this?
