Is there a way to solve this without rolling back the DPI every time I want to play BMS? I can’t see anything with 100% DPI on a 4K 30’ display.
EDIT: NVM, found it on Arty’s Hotlist, thanks!

They won’t react… - mean: deny/ignore the problem.
How long is the Warthog on the market? Assuming 5-6 years.
I know nobody ever saying “This thumbstick is marvelous”.
Assuming only 1% of customers having complained the microstick, TM (Guillemot) should have got dozens (or hundreds ?) of these mails - and even the newest WHs still suck in this point…Meanwhile I’m thinking as well of replacing the microstick with a gamepadstick, which is connected to an Arduino which will be set up as a Game Device with axes and DX-Buttons So, the original microstick won’t be used anymore.
I’m thinking of using this type of stick:

Concerning the 3d-Print (Tazintosh), there might be the problem, that the weight of the printed knob will put continuous force on the “down”-position, rendering it useless. Have heard of some DCS-guy having had this problem. Furthermore the problem of the almost not existent travel stays.
The easiest and cheapest route is, indeed, to route the microstick to an arduino as a separate controller. I took the “gamepad” approach as I was told the chinese sticks sold for DIY are of inferior quality (plastic shafts, bad quality pots). An ideal stick would have hall-sensors, though.
Frankly, I am waiting for the new products to hit the market and I am considering alternatives to the Warthog throttle. I am reluctant to fix the handle wobbling issue and I’ve already had to replace the wiring looms twice.
Another note. Make sure you use a thumbstick with decent clearance of the “mushroom” itself. The higher - the better. It’s quite cramped inside the handle and it’s not easy to hotglue the stick with adequate clearance so you would get full range of travel.
I’ve modded my Warthog with a regular analog stick from a gamepad. It was a used thrustmaster dual analog 4, but any decent gamepad will do. Like a Logitech.
Not an easy job but not that hard either. The stock controller was replaced. I had to make a small PCB to fit the stick on, also had to cut the handle to make a hole for the PCB to sit in.
Here is how the result looks. Sorry I didn’t take pictures of the process itself. The stick itself is much more precise than the stock pimple and also has push action.
