I've had mine since 2001 (coincidentally, when I first tried Aces High!) and they're still A-OK!  :aok  I wonder if that has anything to do with them using magnets and a spring instead of potentiometers?

A++ Would buy again!  (if they'd ever break)

May I ask are your set USB or the Gameport version?
I have a gameport set but I've been unable to get them working under Win7(64) with any USB converter so far.
Thanks

Yeah, unfortunately I got the gameport set, too (probably should've been more forward thinking back then... think it was only like 10 more bucks for the usb  :o).

I've had a usb converter for as long as I can remember, though, and it works under Win7(64)... Unfortunately, I'm not at home and I'm going out of town for the weekend, so I can't check to see what it is exactly or take photos, but I think I might have bought it DHS Electronic as well?   :headscratch:

Sorry, I'll have to get back to you on that...

Hey Seafit, sorry about the lag...  Apparently I bought the converter from Radioshack in around 2002, maybe?  Here're some photos if you want to try to track it down:

Fantastic, there is hope for me then. I'm off for a browse of Radioshack gear.
Thanks again for this, after using the pedals for years I just can't use a twisty stick any more.
Cheers
