Mission Stick Weirdness

[bradcap1]

*Strange stupid question alert*
I've been playing Panzer Dragoon Zwei again and have actually gotten to episode 5 which is a big deal for me as I love video games but generally suck at them. So, I was mapping the button layouts to switch the view left and right to the B and C thumb buttons respectively. It works well but intermittently the C button ceases to function. No problems switching to the left with the B button though. When this happens, the actual C button on the base does not work either. I can toggle the rapidfire switch and it will start to work again but then ceases to function again after awhile. I took the stick apart and it doesn't appear to be an issue of the switch getting depressed. As a test, I also remapped the shot function to the C button on the stick and it works fine for the duration of the game.
Any ideas why this issue is only happening with the switch view function?

just sounds like a bug, in which case there's nothing you can do about it.

I fired up the first Panzer Dragoon and had the same issue except that the c button on the stick and the base was unresponsive. So, I opened up the base and switched the c button cushion with another position, cleaned some goo off the circiut board, and switched the c rapid fire toggle with another position. It now works like a charm.

Nice I think I've only ever used the mission stick for Wing Arms.
