Saitek pedals

[ink]

I went thru the same thing, including sending them back to saitek for repair. After 2-3 months, same thing with forward position lock up. I tossed 'em in the trash and replaced with CH peds. Five years later, I've yet to have an issue.

Anything Saitek craps out sooner or later. 

I wish I could do that..I am using the CH fighter stick....thats why I need my rudder peddles.....but with 6 kids I just cant

Mine still work great,,, I've had the wood underneath them for 4 1/2 years now and never once had them back apart,
They work as good as the day I fixed them!

The only other suggestion...during the period my peds would lock fwd I slam the back pedal forward with considerable force. Sometimes it would solve the problem. Even when it did, sooner or later they'd lock again.

Maybe buy a cheapo twisty until you can replace the peds???

I have 3 saiteks right here...2 X52s and a cyborg...but like you said earlier...they crap out....and that is true each one has different problems that wont allow me to use them.....

mine are screwed down to a piece of plywood since day one...(mind you I have had them for 4 years now) but once they started to jump track it is non stop now within a few minutes of fighting they get stuck.....

Sorry to hear that!!    I don't really want to have to replace mine!

Very nice looking pedals. If I had the funds I would probably buy one just because they look so nice.

very nice looking pedals.....would love to own them..except if I cant spend money on a cheapo stick........

hey Christmas is coming up, you should buy your friendly tattoo guy who has entirely too many kids a pair





I am joking I do not want you to buy me a pair......just being a smartass cuz I did comment about not being able to spend cash on a cheap stick

Lol, I have a pair of Saitek pedals that only work when attached to a keyboard USB in. Dont ask me why, Ive tried every possible fix and combination. Its the same even with different keyboards. Weird.

hey I believe you said back then, you got the PDF for fix for the off track problem....you wouldn't still happen to have it?

and ya that sounds weird, I think I remember you saying that before, I cant imagine what would be the issue.....

I bet you tried everything to get them to work....got rid of all the SST and drivers and used the windows drivers?

Every possible thing, including the PDF. It be what it be.  Lol.
