Sokol1_br Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 (edited) What matter is the mini-stick physical size (to avoid adaptations) and if the pot's are 10k, look for this details in models available in Ebay or Digikey. If you look at the photo provided on Ebay for this 3 pin switch, it shows a microswitch on the left side that the OEM switch does not have, The Thrustmaster circuit board does not have accommodations for this switch. Has anyone actually purchased one of these and installed? The picture in Tm Cougar parts show the micro-switch on side (is the central click) as well the CTS datasheet, in this the B model have switch, the A model no.

Sokol1_br Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) By the picture in Cougarworld part list is OMRON switch (B3F I think): Measure the actual and compare with OMROM specs: https://www.omron.com/ecb/products/sw/21/b3f.html You are not wrong with OMRON switches, much better than that gamepad copper membrane switch) used in TmW.

Fakum Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 So far, Im not having any luck. If i could maybe get some specs from someone, maybe I can call some spring companies? Im not even sure if this uber mods all 4 springs are the same? The 2 for the pitch axis appear different then the roll?

Yardstick Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 See this thread: In the end I stuck with the first set linked in the final post. They are not an exact match but the forces are close enough that I have Ian's originals fitted on the Y-axis and these replacements on the X-axis and there is no noticeable transition in forces between axes. Anyway you could always get 4 springs to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
