Even without the collar the hardware calibration from the factory is all over the place. The sample that just died easily hit the full range to the point I could reach 0/0 and 255/255 in each corner on the raw inputs with a few degrees of deflection to spare. The one I'm using now maxes out around ~230 in each axis with the collar bored out to allow full throw. Judging from the tiny range on the newest sample I tested, it wouldn't even reach 200 without the collar.
Hardware & Technical CH Throttle Pro Deadzones
- Thread starter Cliché
- Start date
Someone posted a comment in a thread about their partner making her own throttle, I can't find the thread / post but maybe someone remembers.
P.S. I recently bought-in a new set* of Fighterstick and Throttle and gave both a good test - found no issues at all. So I have no jitter on throttle axis of either and just the centring effect on the mini-stick (I set decent dead-zones). I use the throttle for FSS tuning and ministick to move the view in FSS - have no issues in use at all.
* 'cos they have to ship from USA now and I get occasional gentle roll-left drift happening but can't find anything wrong with the stick, so bought the spare set just in case.

What's the date code on your new throttle? Should be printed on the bottom in yellow and/or on a white APEM sticker.
I haven't had any major issues with either my Fightersitcks. After a while the wire clips on the pots tend to get loose, but this is easy to fix.
Looks like a 2017 date of manufacture - plus doesn't have the "assembled in Mexico" of my older one.
Mine is 1220smeared, 13 or 15, and it's so far perfectly fine.
I have the CH Pro throttle (292015) and the CH software just caused an absolute nightmare on my Win 10 64 PC.... Now the throttle is as sweet as a nut just using Windows/ED setup. FWIW
