Notes

The Logitech G Flight Yoke System is a mainstream, modular yoke-and-quadrant bundle that's popular for home sim setups and training practice. Because it's widely used and frequently moved, wear often shows up as potentiometer dead zones (especially on the throttle levers), centering drift from spring fatigue, or intermittent connections from cable strain.

Repair tends to be worthwhile when symptoms are localized-cleaning/servicing pots, replacing a lever potentiometer, or addressing cable strain relief-since those fixes usually land below the repair threshold. Replace if multiple axes have persistent jitter, if the yoke shaft feels mechanically rough after cleaning, or if repeated electrical issues return (suggesting deeper board damage).
