Hi, My KorgPA50's joystick has some problem. When it turns to +x direction, it is locking there, it is not returning to the center position. How can it be rectified? please help

Hi Ajith,
Just saw your message
I have got this too. I have xpro and when i use the joystick to right it won't come back to the middle.
I made it open and it turns to be a feather. I will try this week to fix it. You can also open it and look if it is the feather. Otherwise you can buy a new joystick and install it yourself, it is very very very easy to replace.

Hi Milo,
I had the same problem with my one-week-old Pa500. Seems that joystick quality is quite poor. I fixed it opening the keyboard, unscrewing the joy and putting just a drop of Superglue (or any cyanoacrylate glue) at the top of the joy rotation axis. In this way, internal body of the joy will no longer loose due to the tension of the spring.

hi all,
I just wanted to say that I fixed my joystick man.
The plastic was a bit broken, so i glued it. And now it works perfect!
It is to bad that the material is so bad. BUT it is very easy to fix.
good luck.
bye

Hello Everyone
I almost have the same problem, i can move my joystick and it comes back but when i move it, it changes the sound when i play. i tried to go to the menu and fix it but i dont know how. Or maybe i'm just dumb. So if any one can help me it would be very nice
Thanks

Even I'm struggling with the same problem. Is it the result of the bag / box constantly pressing the stick ? In the past experienced users have suggested that, I should go ahead and replace the Joystick, as a solution to this problem.
Please let me know if there is any other solution.
