    My t300 is around 5 months old.After a week of its usage i noticed that when i turn the wheel clock wise the ffb feels stronger as opposed to anti clock wise.However, that wasn't always the case and there were times when everything would feel the same.Now, the thing is that i feel like there could be a calibration issue from the beggining as i sometimes disable the device by going to the device manager and when i turn it back on,centered, this feelings usually goes away.That doesn't mean that the calibration process is faulty as the wheel calibrates itself as it was supposed to but the ffb itself has that unbalanced turning feeling to it.Could there be something wrong happening or is it just me(placebo)?I used to own a dfgt for some time and i felt the exact same thing after a while of using it.

    Maybe your left arm is stronger than your right arm.:D But on a more serious note, I also owned a DFGT before my T300, the only thing I hated about it is that it developed that "uncertain" feeling around the center after a while, and that oscillating zone was slighty off center to the right, so I'd say it was a similar experience to yours (it was easier to turn left than in the opposite direction, it required less movement for a left turn). I can't say I noticed something like this on my T300 though, I bought it over 2 years ago.

    Yeah, I meant the other way round.:D I don't know, maybe let others try it and if they feel the same thing, contact TM/the retailer to replace it.

    Update: The wheel was sent to the service center and they found no anomalies.However, they did tighten the belt and completed a calibration of the motor, which initially made things better. Now after some time it kinda feels like its oscilating to the right again. So i guess it might have to do with the belt tension.
