UK/Saitek support can you please take look at it and tell me if i need to return it to the store and exchange it, or if it's fixable with software/drivers?

(Yes, that tiny centering problem on the y axis does show up in games, and no i don't want to set deadzones on a 150$ joystick to get around this. )

There are a few other quirks to, for example moving the precision slider and/or the rotary things on the throttle does have an impact on how close to 0% i can move the throttle itself.

Regards, Christian.


(EDIT: BTW, i have tried that registry thing but it did'nt do anything)




To solve this Problem ( as funny as it sounds cuz it will cover up crapy production ) just keep one button on thruttle or stick alltime pressed down
and this problem is solved and Y will center very precise everytime.
What i did for example i just clipped one of the MFD buttons down.

I bought my 3rd x52 and they were all kind of different in different views
(for example "weaked out" magnets, rotary smooth, gliding glues sometimes not at all sometime over a "ton" of it ......... and not to forget the connection from the metal axis to the joystick boddy (metal-to-plastic) is really not a good solution cuz it will be used off and begin to shake very quick )

Mr. UKSupport listen: In full respekt I love Saitek and my sexy x52nr.3 (what is modded and improved by myselft now) but your quality ensurance in your production line just sucks....... think bout this please ...
I bet that i go in the store and buy 3 x52 again and i will open them and show u things where u will try to find excuses..but lets avoid this and just watch out.
Looking forward to buy a better Pro.....

Unable to merge posts from different threads like that. You'll have to click edit on your post, copy the text and then paste it in a new reply in the thread you were intending to respond to.

There's also a delete post button (X) should this happen again (accidentally starting a new thread, when you wanted to reply to an existing post), and if I'm not mistaken it works until someone replies to your original posting.
