Title: X-45 Callous!
Post by: LePaul on June 20, 2002, 09:51:06 AM

Holy!

Is it just me, or do these X45 grips (flight stick) induce one helluva callous in the middle of your hand?  I unload trucks at UPS at night and wear gloves all night...but 45 minutes on the X45 grip and my hand is aching!  Perhaps its time for some flight gloves.

Is this phenomena limited to just me?

Now if I could just make the X45 center itself!

He said it was from yanking his stick.

Draw your own conclusions :D

I wore my X45 out in less than 4 months.  The handle is extremely loose on the rod it's attached to, and no tightening of the screw improved things.   I also wear out a mouse in about 3 months, the sliders wearing right off in that time.  I think I press on things a bit to hard.

But I've never seen a callous on my hands yet :p .
