My microstick has a bit of drift as well... Though they are the original pots, and they've been used heavily over the last 6 years. I do have a spare that I think I will put in!

I could deactivate my drifting microstick cursor by moving it to Axis 9 and 10 , but by pressing T1 it centres itself again and remains fairly stable. Also I'm terrified to tinker with my CCP in case my stick dies again. I haven't even checked out my suggested Throttle fix for Darren. Just hope it works. This axis moving can be a bonus though. I'd never know of it before and yet it must be so regularly used by others.
