Strange X52 pinky button issue

[100Coogn]

I've never had the issue, but I also use an SST profile.  I wonder if it might be due to the stick treating the pinky as a shift state button even when there's no profile loaded, and having the test window open bypasses that?

I'd be curious if someone who has this issue were to use a blank profile with SST with no shift states and see if the button starts working without the test window open.

Something is not right.
Hell, I got mine set tot trip the wire. 
Maybe the switch is broke.

I've found by pulling up the HOTAS properties under game controller, and then opeing aces high the pink Button works.  The only exception is the two stage trigger on the X52. I can only get it to fire all (not recognizing the second stage).  But while the properties page is open, I can use the pinky, the mouse button, and some others that were INOP on throttle too. 

Hope this helps.

I just got rid of the Saitek programming software all together as it was causing a couple of other issues - in addition to loosing the pinky.  I just use the default Microsoft joystick driver and settings. The Saitek software, while a strong tool for customization, is just a PITA in the long run - especially for other games I play.

Aces High allows you to map out the buttons individually - no need really for SST.

I use the "Pinky Switch" all the time,mine works great. I dont use any thing but Default Win drivers, no sst software. Another one of those WTH issues I guess. Wonder if it could be the TWISTY feature of the X52? Thats the only button/axis I DO NOT USE. My logitech 3Dpro had a short in a button IF TWIST was twisted to the right. Just thinking out loud

Even though this is an old post I found that it fixed my problem with my "new" X52. Had same problems with the buttons on the throttle and the pink, not working  and the wheel scrolling up down like the mouse. I opened up the HOTAS property window and I can now use them as a regular button. But as others have said if you close it the buttons go back to working like a mouse.
