give up on the x68?

It wouldn't recenter even after saitek came out with their updated drivers. You get in the game and calibrate to that and it would still be in a left climbing turn. You go to the saitek program to calibrate it and it wouldn't center unless you set your pressures to 3 pounds of force to fly the darn thing. It was out of warranty so I took it apart to see if I could POSSIBLY fix it. WOW what a total POS that thing is when you see how it is made. The sensors that detect the pressure were literally electrical taped to the main steel stick the grip was screwed to. I'm not kidding one bit about that. The bottom of that stick is completely hollow. The switches and hats could not be replaced if you needed them to like a cougar as well. The throttle is great! I have no complaints about that except the lower button that doubles as a trim is already dying and I haven't had them but for a couple years and both are MADE OF METAL.  Despite the price tag and all the hype the x65 is the biggest waste of money on the market. I'd have rather bought a logitech g940 than the x65. You don't have to say it. This is how I really feel, hahahahaah! I now use a cougar hotas and while it is out of commission while it's mods go in i'll use a ch. The last piece of saitek kit I have that is worthy of a spot in my simpit is the pedals. No more Saitek for me any more.

Does CH make twisty sticks, or do I have to chop off another arm for the rudder pedals too?
