My X52 Pro - which is less that two months old, has already started playing up
I had a Saitek Extreme 3D pro for 5 years before it started malfunctioning And let's remember that is a budget Stick
I really expected more from the X52 considering it cost me £140 V peed off
The issue is it has started to 'stick' The joystick now resists small movements Trying to make gentle adjustments (which as we all know is key on WOFF) - the joystick resists Then gives way and moves more that I want I cannot fly or aim with it any more
And I have an entirely free weekend ahead of me - was so looking forward to a few days of serious flying
A quick search online reveals I am not the only one with this problem
Looks like I will have to order some trombone slide grease from Amazon
God knows how long that will take to arrive

Haha good to meet you pal,have you got an old stick that you could use in the meantime mate?.I know it can be a pain at times but most online suppliers ive dealt with have been spot on regarding any refunds Etc.
Yep been flying with OBD products since OFF P2,then WOFF,s predecessor OFF P3 with the expansion HITR,and now the wonderful WOFF..pretty good sim innit pal.And to think i stumbled on OBD,s products by accident,picked up OFF P2 and with that i was hooked.Anyways hope you get your stick working soon and welcome to the most helpful,friendliest forum on the Net,safe flying pal and whatever you do keep watching that six

I guess you are sure that you haven't messed with the "nullzone" data? (You could fly WOFF with this stick, and now suddenly it won't work correct?)
I tried that messing with the advanced settings Olham doesn't make it any better I am afraid The problem is a physical one Seems like the ball at the base of the joystick is sticking on something Or maybe the spring underneath the stick is sticking
I can actually feel it resisting whenever I try to make small movements on the stick
This is a physical problem with the actual product
But thanks for your suggestions Olham, all input is appreciated

The scanning is done via laser, and the matrix is the same res. as in the expensive HOTAS Cougar. So the resolution (sensitivity) is much higher than in any other stick in that price range. The stick can easily be converted from right- to lefthand use.
The stick costs ca. 49 Euro = 36 British pounds = 56 US dollars

That does look like a very nice stick Olham - but seeing as I have just bought the X52 Pro I really want to get it working again Thanks for the suggestion though

This.
If you have little experience with taking things apart then I would not risk voiding your warranty... you only bought it a couple of months ago no?
A bit more research has turned up a few things Looks like it might just be a little bit of dirt in the joystick housing Am going to get some compressed air from Maplin this afternoon and give it a bit of a squirt
Might work
