Is Saitek Garbage or am I having bad luck

Still on an X-36 here, never loses calibration, its like a pair of old slippers. Anything decent would be wasted on me anyway.

Do you know a source for X36 replacement pots?  The pitch pot is bad on mine (am using throttle and ST290).

no idea

Are the "plastic" pieces breaking off not a quality problem?  Not working out of the box not a quality problem?  Programing issues and compatability problems not a quality problem?  27 years in the business and ave about 20 stick sales a week and all I see coming back for problems are Saitek and Logitech, Not one CH in 8 years I think that says a lot IMHO

I have been doing flight simulators for about 25 years. I have used ALL of the joysticks in the market. Not a single one is perfect but CH is the way to go. I use the CH FighterStick and ProThrottle. I have two sets for my home and working apartment with no issues. Learn to calibrate them well. Once you do don't move the right or bottom sliders. You are not supposed to. I use the Saitek rudders because I like their "feel" better with no problems, so far. I do own the CH rudders too and a whole lot of old non-USB gear too. I still have and old Saitek X-52 that works OK. The last three X-52 PROs were duds. I still own three Cougars, one moded (cost me over $400.00). The TM Cougar HOTAS are not worth what you pay for them and the unmoded Cougars get a nasty center play within months. Trust me.
