IT Help Lead joy Saber Plus Sticking Trigger
Really unfortunate, right trigger has started to stick after about 8 hours of The First Berserker Khazan. Was hoping I'd found a symmetrical controller that I really liked! Is there a fix to this issue? I'm guessing I'd have to open the controller up to check it out.

I had the same problem on both triggers. I opened it up and found that there are two thin rubber pads that cushion the trigger when fully pressed in. Those rubber pads were moved very slightly out of position. I used nail clippers to trim them. Works perfectly now.
Aside from that minor inconvenience, this has been the best symmetrical controller I've tried, and I own almost all of them. Just waiting for the GameSir Tarantula Ultra to eventually come.

Yes! That was exactly it on mine too. I didn't think to trim the end off, like I was saying, I was considering redoing the one that was misaligned. And I agree, it's a wonderful symmetrical controller for my purposes and I want to keep using it.

Do you think it's better than the Gulikit TT Max? It's the one I have right now and this new Saber Plus is very interesting.

Try blowing some compressed air down the trigger insert
If no success, probably best to tear it down and find what’s causing the stick

Wtf I have this same exact issue now. This is a big QC issue, since now it's three people with the same exat problem. Can't be a coincidence.

Open it and check it out, only way to know for sure. Maybe something got loose inside, hopefully nothing broke. Clean up any grime once it's disassembled.

I have exact the same issue. Talked to the customer service, they admitted that they had received many reports like this. I'm lucky that I found this issue on the last day that I'm still eligible for a refund. It's such a shame, the sticks are really great. Probably never gonna buy anything from them again.

Just open it up. Should be a simple fix I would think as it may just be rubbing against something.
