Never argue with an idiot. He brings you down to his level, then beats you
with experience...

I recommend the wheel to anyone who is in the market for a nice piece of
hardware. I've had mine since 1996 and it's still as smooth as the day I
got it.. (Replaced the pots a few times through the years)
With the TSW warranty system, and great customer service, I'd imagine if
the wheel is still new, you could send it back and get your money back..
Hope you get it to work on your system, cause your missing out on a
great wheel otherwise! Mick

ps.when i found out that they knew this. and also that alot of others
have this same problem well that 's what got my goat.it's not the
wheel exactly it's the pots they use i guess.now i gottta tell my wife

TSW2 Modified on a SoundBlaster Live Value and have never had a problem
here. Not saying your problem doesn't exist, but I haven't witnessed it on
my end. I hope you find a solution as the TSW wheel is excellent.
