Pro Flight Yoke X (Aileron) axis keeps losing calibration

Featured Replies

I'm not sure why this is happening, and I understand it's not an uncommon problem. I have a Saitek/Logitech Pro Flight Yoke (amongst other controllers) and it is now consistently losing calibration on its X/Aileron axis. I have run--multiple times--the registry fix to reset the controller calibrations, and each time the calibration will hold for a short period before reverting back to off-center.

I'll start off by opening Windows Game Controllers app. Selecting the Pro Flight Yoke from among the displayed controllers, I then clock "properties"  then select the "deadzones" tab. The X axis is shown  off-center to the right approximately half-a-division (approx. 20%), with the indicator line rapidly oscillating. Following the instructions Saitek has provided, I unplug the yoke, then run their registry fix, which deletes the yoke's calibration details from the registry. That's followed by a reboot, and then plugging the yoke back in. Reopening the Windows Game Controllers app I then work each axis back-and-forth four times to reset the calibration details, again as the instructions indicate. This, indeed, resets the calibration information, and the X axis sits dead still at zero.  

It just doesn't stay at zero.

I'm hoping someone here might have additional steps I can take to ameliorate or eliminate this annoyance.
