Hardware & Technical I need help with Saitek x52 Pro

[Cmdr Wolf Atlas]

I need help!!!
My Saitek x52 Pro joystick doesnt stay upright, it leans a bit to the front making my ship go down when it should be stationary
Anyone know any fixes?

If it's under warranty - send it right back for a replacement.

Buy a Msffb2 of eBay and use the throttle with it, with the x52 joystick as a button bay. Solved.

If all else fails, set the deadzone in settings high enough that it doesn't matter.

You can add deadzone to vertical axis to help eliminate drag. If it's too much of a problem you'll have to buy a new stick.

Also try unplugging the h
Joystick from the throttle and making sure it's 100% vertical when you plug it back in - it reads its position when it's plugged in as neutral, so if you tilt the stick back to get at the ps/2 port, you introduce a slight forward drift.

I'd put something in between the stick and the spring to make the spring harder.
