Up to 30-40% or so it does not stay but goes back to zero position, without any playing or anything.
Nice and soft move like on a liquid damping.

Maybe due to tilt 20 degrees on my second tier of keyboard stand but seems odd on mod wheel, I think.
Otherwise only Roland that has this kind of stick making mod return.

Anything to adjust removing side cover or something?
Otherwise thinking cutting some rubber foam to make friction enough in the hole?
- anybody did this?

Fixed like that on my Nordlead that moved a bit as I was playing creating spurious CC#1.

Thanks.

There is a controller calibration function in Settings. Maybe that'll do the trick.

Thanks, but it is the physical wheel that returns by itself if at 30% or so.
Nice liquid damper speed but it goes back to zero.

Like it's concentric or something, or some friction to be adjusted somewhere?

Does it still do it if you lay it flat somewhere rather than tilted on your stand? If so, that's your answer.
If not, I guess it must be a cable inside that's pulling it back to zero.

It's the same lifting the low end so more horizontal.

But sounds very likely that weight of a cable might do this.
Maybe it needs a tie or something to not let Newton pull it down.

But leave it at doing rubber foam thing to increase friction just a bit when really want it to stay put.

Ah, sorry :-[

Never seen this myself, on neither of my MxB or PB (which have the same type wheel mechanism). So yeah, maybe a lead interfering or something.
