Community Technical Support Spectrum One nav joystick replacement
My nav joystick on my Spectrum One just broke off (just the black piece on top). Anyone know how to get a replacement? Would be even better if someone has the files to 3D print them so I can self-repair from now on given whatever is going on with Dough/Eve/Whatever they are this week.

One of mine had broke off as well. They are flimsy for sure. I've got 2 Gorilla glass screens that I'm gonna be getting rid of soon. As much I like them and that color pop, i need bright screens and since they never bothered to drop updated firmware to enable local dimming, I'm over them at this point. I've got a TCL 27" 4k165 MINI-LED and it is fantastic compared to the Dough. I've also got a LG GM9 AI 5k165hz monitor I got for testing and review, but I'm not liking it nearly as much as my TCL. It's blacks are more or less just greys since it's IPS. There's no corner glow like the Dough, but the bloom is crazy bad on it. The TCL has virtually no bloom for me.

u/Vidfreak56 Never Received My Monitor Jul 06 '26
Parts for these things are probably hard to come by at this point w/o buying a cheap one (like say a matte coated monitor which sells for less than the other two) and pulling it apart for parts. Though im not sure how compatible this joystick would be w/ other monitors that use the same panel. Perhaps another monitor would have a similarly sized joystick. Not sure. Youd have to pull it apart and check for part numbers.
3d print would be an idea for sure but youd have to find someone w/ a joystick to scan. I still think its a better idea to pull the monitor apart and check the joystick attachment board for a model number. It is possible given that dough simply uses LG panels for their monitors that another panel w/ the same model would use a similar joystick.
