Had a TT max for a couple of weeks, and it has been mostly very good outside of the centre stick wobble and double-feeling pull on the triggers, but after just trying out a racing game for the first time (F1 23), I noticed some strange issues, so I took a look at it in a gamepad tester with throttle input.

After fully actuating the trigger it completely stops reading any input as I release it until I get to about 50% trigger, at which point it registers as absolutely zero input. You can then kind of rock it at that point in the middle of the pull to keep triggering 0 then 100 input repeatedly.

After doing this it seems to have slightly inconsistent behaviour, but it either seems to stop accepting an input until I fully press it again and it jumps to 100% input or I have to totally release the trigger and re-press it to about 50% for it to retrigger at the 100% mark and then jump to what it should be at about 50%.

  
Needless to say, this makes racing games literally impossible to play, as my throttle input is not even remotely tied to what I'm actually doing.

  
Is this a software issue or something I will need to start a second return for (the first one's G2 button was broken)?
