Saitek X55
« on: April 06, 2017, 05:20:59 PM »
Bought it on a whim. Plugged it in once thought hey this is neat and never used it again. Its basicly brand new. Got the box still. 150 + shipping.

Dunno I didn't really use it. Seems cool. After breaking it out I am tempted to use it.  :joystick:  :)

Button 0 on my X-55 throttle has decided to die.  The unit is barely 6 months old.

Google X-55 throttle wire breaks, it's a bit disheartening.
