So after I modded my TE it worked fine for about 2 weeks then it started making this weird noise and started to feel funny. It only does this when it is screwed in. When I have stuff open it doesn't feel funny at all and doesn't make the weird noise. It comes and goes but comes more than it goes. Kind of like my grandma. I'm thinking it is either my switches being stupid or my spring in the stick is acting up. Someone help me out here. Its getting annoying.

That is mysterious, somewhere between your dust washer and the microswitches something must be happening. I have no idea what though.

I'm not to certain myself either.  I'm not good at modding sticks and junk like that, but I can say my TE stick doesn't do that.  Maybe you should take it apart and look at it and see if you can spot anything wrong.

" @SpecialBuddy: So the stick still works perfectly right? You don't feel like something is blocking or restricting movement when that noise happens? "

Sounds like maybe the whole joystick might be moving idk

That is indeed very strange. I don't know how the technical wiring/pieces that are required to make a joystick work, but I suggest replacing all of the moving parts required to make the joystick function. As you mentioned, replace the switches and the spring in the joystick (if possible). If not,t hen just replace the entire piece that is required for that part.

Did you get a new plexi over the artwork? Maybe it's not perfectaly cut or lined up so it knocks it slightly at the bottom.
