Here's my DIY mod to get rid of the very abrupt centre detent on the pitch axis of the Turtle Beach VelocityOne flight yoke.
This bit of hardware is very good in most respects, but the detent makes subtle pitch adjustments (such as when on final touchdown) very difficult.
It's quite simple, just a question of unscrewing the top cover and then removing two plastic shaft stops from the side shaft.
However - as per usual with these things, this is entirely at your own risk, and I accept no responsibility for any problems that may ensue if the mod is not done exactly as described, and with a reasonable level of competance.
I searched online and found various suggestions to ease the problem, but didn't see anyone else suggesting this method.
When I looked inside, I simply removed two plastic end stops on the seconday shaft.  These caused each tension spring to abruptly stop pushing and then the other spring to require an initial abrupt push to start compressing it.
By just carefully removing these stops, the original springs work much better in concert, with a gradual take over of tension at the mid point.
I've also purchased one of vanDIJK's clever shaft supports, a printed plastic assemby that supports the yoke tube underneath where it emerges from the front of the casing.  I'm confident that it will improve things even more, since the yoke also moves much more freely when lifted slightly, rather than dragging downwards with the weight of one's hands.
