thanks

Well there are two things here.

First, if its a new stick I'd say it shouldn't be doing that and to contact Saitek or their support company Madcatz and get their opinion. The cone, cup and spring idea is prone to that with wear. My X52Pro does it a bit and I have had it a couple of years now. By the way I assume it is not 'sticky'?

Second, if you look in the Windows Games Controller programme and the crosshair is moving throughout that 'loose' physical movement you are at least getting an input response to the movement, it is not mechanical play giving a 'dead zone' so if you can live with the 'feel' of it your stick input is not lost. I've got used to mine and that input results in aircraft response so I don't worry about it and my springs are pretty relaxed now so there's no noticeable 'step change' in feel when moving onto the spring pressure.

This is a new stick? An X52Pro?

THAT'S WRONG! Kick it back to Saitek. The Hall sensors in the stick do not lie.

Mine is the same except the crosshair moves at the slightest touch. You can see where the freeplay occurs, partly in the lower cup that supports the spring and where the shaft enters the yoke. Yours should be sensitive to the slightest movement too.

When I get time I will have a look at the construction and see if the freeplay can be reduced or eliminated.

It's like the cup's hole it's too big for the shaft, here is the play. Probably if it was smaller then the stick was "sticky". No, mine isn't sensitive at those movements... I already wrote at the saitek support and waiting an answer.
p.s.
Is the FSX demo still included in the package? I got it also, is probably an old stock or what?
