You'll have to recalibrate it. That stick is notorious for wearing out, I went through a few myself. Though I've heard it's possible to regrease and maintaib.

Can you adjust the deadspot? When I let go of the stick the ship is steering down slightly.

Yes. You can set deadzones for all analog axes.

@JJExMachina Talked about doing work on his T1600m.

Once you begin setting deadzones it's the beginning of the end. Do maintenance.

Where would I do that then?

normally it calibrate itself when you plug it in.
plug it out (in windows not in a game),
wait a bit,
make sure your stick is in the middle position and plug it in again.

There's a + next to every analogue control. Click it, you can change the deadzone.

The gimble is probably wearing out. Happened to all 4 of mine eventually... You can extend the life of them a bit if you're not afraid of using a screw driver.

Open up the base, apply some thick plastic safe damping grease to the inside of the gimble mechanism (there's a plastic hemisphere with a cup sat on top of it, you want to get the grease between them), add a washer under the spring to raise the bottom of it up about 1.5-2mm.

If you do it right it should feel like a brand new stick. You'll have to to do it again at some point though, then again... Eventually it'll last about 2 weeks before you just give up on fixing it and order a new stick (they used to cost £25, which is why I went through 4 of the things lol).

thanks for the help guys.
