Some of the original TE's PCBs have had issues with random buttons failing, supposedly it's a problem with static build up... some people have had success with grounding the metal plates and others have simply called MadCatz for replacement PCBs.spindashing said:A small question which I'm sure I can get a quick answer for.
My TE stick (1st Gen)'s roundhouse button stopped working out of nowhere during an online match. After the match, I realize that the 3K button is also not responding. I disconnect the arcade stick and reconnect it and all is fine, surprisingly. This is the first time I've ever an issue with this stick (my first one, too!) in the year since I've purchased it. Should I worry? I mean, it works fine now, but one can never be too sure.
