My Cougar Microstick Replacement
-
@Red:
that is incorrect. I soldered / unsoldered enough of them with a very basic solder iron and basic solder. The solder TM used is pretty standard.
It’s difficult to unsolder, not because of the hi temp solder used, but because there are 14 solder points to unsolder at the same time.You need to unsolder each point and pump the solder out while it’s out. then you can rather easily unsolder the microstick from it’s PCB, place the new one and resolder it.
It’s no rocket science. all you need is this:

I’m considering to source 50 pots and offer them here. but considering demand became quite low compared to what it was, i’m not sure it’s worth itby the way chihirobelmo, nice outside the box thinking
Please, count me in for a couple of PCB, with the pots if change your mind on source them. And also that tool, which i have noh ide what it is, but seems it´s required to change the pcb.
I´m completely serious Red Dog, i have a small problem with my micrstick on the cougar no centering well. I wanted to send you a personal message, but you do not allow it.
Please consider giving those interested a way to acquire them.Thanks!

I did for 15 years mate
i’m out of stock and 1-2 orders a month is not going to allow me to buy the MOQ of the parts anymore -
Too bad! I was hoping we could convince you
-
It’s all a question of finding reasonnable MOQ

I got lazy and didn´t even made a small search, my bad.

Do you have an indication of what MOQ would make it viable to do another batch? I would talk to my squad and see if anybody would be interested and if others did the same we could see if we can reach it? But only if you want. I can understand that maybe after 15 years you’re like “enough is enough”

I would take 5 myself

I would take 2.

Sorry, i didnt understand. You guys found a working solution?

I gather, they could be put back into production, if a min order number condition is met.

My trim hat switch just died, so I would be in for two should they become available again.

I have received a reply from Thrustmaster as follows indicating the part is available.
Thank you for your interest in Thrustmaster products and we are sorry for the delayed reply to your query.
We would like to inform you that a new Tact switch for stick (#6000211) costs 25 Euros (regular postal service) / 37 Euros (specialized delivery company).
Payment possibility: PayPal
In my case, I have determined that my problem is not down to a problem switch. But it is good to receive a reply from Thrustmaster that the part is available albeit at a significant price.

Thanks to your post Sabre and my never ending problem with my microstick y made contact with Thrustmaster and ordered two tact switch, but the cost they charged me was 12 Euros for each tact switch and 15 euros for standard mail delivery.
A whole diferent story will be to install it on the Cougar. I have zero experience un/soldering electronic parts.
