Saitek has fixed the X52 deadzone issue in sticks SN# 245,478 and above . You will have to check the sn number at the store to garantee that it is one with the updated firmware. I've had 2 so far, the first one was pretty sloppy , and unaccurate , the 2nd sn# 248160 is the updated one and is crisp and percise . There was alot of angry customers on the saitek site , and a whole lot of threads over there about the earliy problems. GL 38
