(Hardware). I am almost regretting my good CH products Yoke. On the Saitek pro Flight yoke i bought l8 months ago, my POV hat switch is already dead. Awfully reacting on the horizontal axe.
If i consider that i am flying an average 85 mn a day ( 5 x 60 mn ) + (2 x 150 mn on week ends) !
That's a spin of life of 44 800 minutes or approximately 750 hours. Insufficient for a hardware...
By the way, after 4 years, i had to give up my CH Products Yoke for the same reason.
The Saitek POV-hat on the Pro Flight Yoke system
A 750 hours spin of life ?

Mine is dead too....
I have the Proflight Yoke and NEVER actually used it. I just couldn't get past that dead zone issue. Drove me crazy!!! Still locked away under the stairs...
I have the old and trustful Microsoft Sidewinder ForceFeedback 2 for about 10 years now, and just in this month it started to cause some problems, even with calibration the Z axis ( the one for the yawing) is turning to the right ( very boring on taxy and approach ! ) The cost ? About 80 euros in that time. I think the controllers are like cars , the older days they're built to endure , today they're built to last until the new version is available to buy.
Should i buy the Saitek X-65 our just clean the contact points on my Sidewinder2 ?
The question remains
just bought x65 with no work right butt on pov hat. replaced this, and get same problem at another one, i dont know who and how made this joystick, but must be someone of them, just idiot
300-400$ joy with problem like that is annoyed, but no analogy on market, thrustmaster doesn't do joys by this conception, and this is sad!
