Re: Joystick disconnecting constantly during match

My thoughts are that it could be a bad USB Port (which others have talked about), or it could be a bad Joystick.

Try it with a different joystick in a different USB port.

"bad joystick" includes:
1) Worn connector
2) internally frayed wires, which you can't see

Sudden bumps causing the problem lends me to believe the problem is in the physical connection between the joystick and the computer. Either the port is bad, or the connector on the joystick. Or, some combination of both.
