This is a service to upgrade the electronic components inside any Thrustmaster Warthog 4 or 5 Way HAT Assembly. Price is per HAT Assembly upgraded.
You
need to remove the HAT assemblies and send them in for service. Do not
send entire warthogs or metal housings(expensive shipping).
The upgraded HAT's will have an improved tactile side to side switching feel. By a factor of approximately 2x from original. The HAT's internals will also last much longer than the original ones!
The replaced components are rated for 1,000,000 operations for push in and 200,000 operations for side to side switching. The components are brand name and not some cheap knockoffs. Components Made in USA, Canada and Japan.
Upgradable HAT Switch Assemblies:
- Trim Switch (H1)
- Target Management Switch TMS (H2)
- Data Management Switch DMS (H3)
- Countermeasures Management Switch CMS (H4)
- MIC Switch (MS)
- Coolie Switch (CS)
When should you consider this service?
Intermittent operation from one of your multi way HAT switches.
- Non returning HAT switch from a side push.
A side push or push in on a HAT stops working.
Jammed function on HAT switch.
When fixing a bricked stick or throttle, or when repairing/upgrading your Push Buttons as well.

The HAT Assemblies are reasonably easy to remove, by pressing 2 plastic latches/clips on the housings at the same time while pushing the assemblies out from the Warthog. (disconnect the connector for the switch first)
What this service does NOT offer:
- No repair of broken plastic housings or HAT Domes included (like if you physically broke the switch plastic to bits, will not be fixed).
- No repair of broken push IN springs. (those basically never break nor lose their strength significantly AFAIK)
Returns/refunds:
- If you did not read the; description, photo, or condition and just want a refund due to your error/changing your mind, there is a 15% restocking fee to recover all fees including Paypal which no longer refunds seller fees.
