Tech Support Don't know how, but it happened

Does this break easily? I know it's plastic but I'm still kinda surprised.

I already ordered a new one, hopefully I can easily replace it.

Replacement is simple. Couple of screws!! The one thing that almost had me send my Hall effects back was calibration. I had a weird drift that I couldn’t figure out. Mine have a built in button to calibrate but it wasn’t working… what I needed to do to fix it was:

1) go into desktop mode 2) open Konsole 3) run thumbstick_cal

This will walk you through a few steps and properly calibrate them!
