My axis are set at zero.  You probably only need deadband if you get spiking and, since the X52 uses Hall-effect sensors it doesn't spike. I do use a bit of deadband for the "Precision Slider" and wheels as they use pots instead of hall-effect.  The slider tends to spike a bit unless it's all the way forward or aft.

Uh, I've had to set deadbands on my x52 pro. In fact, I think Saitek recommends it.

Just test it until you are satisfied.
