Assuming you've got your Windows deadzone zeroed out already with DXTweak or
the like, check the plastic collar that mates the steerer shaft to the pot.
The fit has to be VERY precise, both on the collar/pot side and the
collar/steerer side. Mine had a small amount of slack new, which I'd bet
most do given the design and price-point tolerances. A tiny bit of epoxy
putty sorted it out. You won't be able to "feel" this in the mechanism;
it'll only show up on the calibration screen as a bit of lag that occurs
whenever you change direction with the wheel, whatever the wheel position.
While it can certainly be annoying, it's an easy fix that makes the wheel
even MORE precise. Just go easy with the putty.
