This issue just started within the last week. The up/left and down/left diagonals wont work on my TE. Up, Down, and Left all work fine. If I take the gate off, the diagonals seem to work so I thought it was the gate, but when I tried putting the spare one on that I have, it does the same thing. I also know this isnt a issue with the microswitches because I tried it with a different jlf pcb and that didnt work either. The only thing I can think of would be that black piece of plastic wearing out that is on thje shaft that actually hits the switches since it’s ~4 years old. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Can you provide photos of your joystick?
The black piece you’re talking about is the actuator, it’s dirt cheap to replace. http://www.focusattack.com/sanwa-jlf-p-5-actuator/
