Hi!

I have a new Saitek X52 and want to set it up under Windows 7, 64 Bit. The Saitek-Homepage only shows drivers for X52 Pro, and they don't work. When the installer tells me to plug in the desired controller and I do so, nothing happens. The same with the current SST-Software.

Can anyone lead me to the correct driver for this device? It auto-installs OK as a standard-controller but I want to play around a bit with the programming software.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the link, but there I can also only select the X52 Pro, not the X52. Im not sure if this driver is supposed to work.
Anyway, I already found a driver for the standard X52 for Win 7 64 Bit.

It looks like they buried it in their FTP site for some reason:

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/X52.zip is the software I think
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/x52_151205_32.exe is 32 bit drivers I think
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52/x52_151205_64.exe is the 64 bit drivers I think

Here is their main ftp software link:

ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/

OK I figured out your problem.. the driver are still in fact on that webpage you're just clicking on the wrong thing.

Go to http://www.saitek.com/uk/down/drivers.php

Then on the right column select JOYSTICKS (instead of selecting PRO FLIGHT from the left column)

Now you can select X52

This should help:
