wich one? saitek x52 or x52pro

What are the symptoms regards the throttle potentiometers? Mouse creep, Rotary pots and Slider not going full scale, large deadzone on the Rotary's are symptoms of a low reference voltage and can only be cured with a hardware mod to the X52 Regulator circuit.

The small potentiometers are used in most of the later Saitek/Madcatz flightsticks and can be dissasembled for claening with 'switch or contact cleaner. You can also apply a ltlle bit more tension to the wipers. Stripping down these sticks is not easy unfortunately but can be done with care and attention. You must map out the wire colour codes to the various pints on the PCB's as these will fall off as soon a you start to remove the various components

The Small 'Press To Make' microswitches are available from most Electronic Component stores but there are two sizes used in the Saitek.

Unfortunately, these sticks are hand soldered and I found a number of connections that were not soldered correctly. Mine had intermittent switches, Rotary and slider problems, dreadful mouse cursor creep and a large deadzone (cured with the magnets mod). I got it for £5-00...........and following a complete strip down, mod to the regulator circuit and re-locating the magnets it is as good as my X52 pro.
