Saitek Customer ser. is one of the worst...Even worse than Turtle Beach. I would ask for the mgr. of the service dept. right off the bat and see if they have an IPL for your model.hope that helps!

For general information, Per Saitek (MadCatz) Tech/Customer Support;

"Thank you for contacting Madcatz. I apologize for the delayed response and I am sorry to hear about the issue that you are having with your flight stick. Unfortunately we do not have replacement parts...."

They did offer me some warranty coverage if I still had my proof of purchase. Which I don't.

I have never seen an x65 in a second hand store before, but I am sure that they do wind up there on occasion.

What I do see a lot of are MS Sidewinders. If you are thinking of fixing the thing yourself, then you might see if the hat switches in Sidewinders are compatible.

Definitely not a novice's task, but if you thought of putting in a replacement, you should be able to modify a different brand a bit.

How do you not?  You can look up receipts from just about every place you purchase something from.  I guess you got it second-hand?

Bought it new at Fry's in Plano Texas, didn't even try on the web!? Didn't know you could. :rock
