Saitek X52

I bought the Saitek X52 and within a week of receiving the system, the joystick died. If I remember, I got it through amazon and they had a warranty, so I sent the system back and they sent me back a free replacement system. However, within a year (of EXTREMELY light use, only using it maybe once a week), that system also went bad. Often the joystick axes will go crazy and start sending erratic input signals to the computer. Also, the key I have mapped to the flaps gets a mind of its own and deploys the flaps in mid flight whenever it pleases. Just curious if anyone else had a bad experience with the Saitek X52?

Thanks...

Hmm that sure is strange, I've had my X-52 for almost 3 years and had no issues with it, apart from the screen on the throttle not lighting up anymore. Maybe you got unlucky twice and just need another replacement?

I bought the X45, a week later the 532 came out! My 45 has a rough patch in the stick where the rubber like cover meets the base of the stick and gets stuck sometimes, other than that I have no issues, and I hear that the 52 is pretty much bullet proof also......might just be a case of really bad luck. Can you try again and see if they can send you a new one?

Slainte,
