Title: Saitek USB problems
Post by: 54Ed on December 18, 2000, 09:28:00 PM
Anyone else have a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold USB?  Have any problems with it ceasing to function in the middle of gameplay?  How about other USB brands?

Mine will just suddenly stop responding on 1 or more axes.  It will be working fine one second , and the next ... nothing.  When I reach behind the computer and unplug and replug the USB jack, after a few seconds it works fine.  I disabled the proprietary software, but makes no difference.

One thing I noticed.  When my hand discharges any sort of static electricity on the stick, say I walk across carpet in socks and then touch stick, it quits.  Won't quit for a week, then it will quit 4 or 5 times in one night.  

Any ideas?
