Hi all,

Is anyone aware of a supplier for the Cougar Throttle microstick double pot (part no 252A104B60NB on CougarWorld's warranty part list)? My microstick is failing on the Y-axis, move it downwards and it spikes left/right randomly.

Thrustmaster are reporting that they don't have any in stock and they don't know if they will get more in, and I haven't been able to find an active email address for RedDog. Also other suppliers for this part don't seem to have stock, being discontinued in 2015.

Also happy to pay to take one off someone's hands if they have a spare.

Thanks

I don't, but will watch this thread. I have two Cougars and both microsticks are still working, but I fear the day they stop. Knowing where to get a replacement would be great.

A friend got one in 2018 from Thrustmaster. If they are out it's not a good sign.

Original CTS 252A104B60NB model was discontinued around 2015.

ALPS RKJXV1224005 can be used as replacement (is used in Warthog slew upgrade), but physical side are slight different and maybe don't fit in original PCB, requiring make a support (3D Print...) instead a PCB.

That's promising, thanks Sokol. Would prefer to find direct replacements. Actually, now that I think of it I might have had my friend get me one while he was at it, so I probably have one. I'm sorry I won't want to give it away or sell it as I might need it later, especially if it's discontinued. If I can find it I'll check the part number against the one Sokol listed above.
