Today it's really easy to do this. All you need are 3 Potis with 3600°/100kOhm an old USB-cable and a Joywarrior-modul for 8 or 16 buttons.

I did this once with my good old Thrustmaster Attack-Throttle to bring it into modern times, since there where no more drivers for it.


The expensive part are the potis (3x15€). No wonder why Saitek only build one trimmwheel.

PS: I have still to decide for 8 or 16 buttons.

You seem to be into potis and that stuff?
Speaking of Saitek: As I have two of those x52-bastards, I decided to disassemble one throttle. Those potis inside look rather cheap and the spiking annoys the hell out of me.
Now, the question is:
Are they available in higher quality, if so, where can I get them and finally: will they be compatible with the saitek software/PCB?
Thx.
