Introduction
Use this guide to fix your faulty controller trigger on your Thrustmaster Eswap X Pro Controller. If your controller is experiencing faulty readings such as continued button readings after the button is released, it is most likely due to a layer of dust covering the switch. The switch refers to the limit switch that is pushed down every time the trigger button is pressed. A layer of dust causes a false reading of being pressed and therefore the switch continues firing.
Before using this guide, check with the controller software, ThrustmapperX, to see if your controller is producing false readings. Be absolutely sure the problem is with the trigger switch and not the mechanism itself.
