~S~ Alpha ,

Mouse issue .................... had the same problem . It is related to the mouse joystick on the throttle ( which I don't use ) .
Solution : go to .....Device manager , then ' programming support ' ........then "disable " programming support for mouse .. for me, at least corrected the moving mouse problem ....

SST ............ I don't use it as it seemed 'to much ' for me . I'll see if I can figure out a way to copy my profile .

Welcome aboard, too bad you've chosen the wrong aircraft, but yea well..

I had a similar problem with my X-52 a couple of years back, so I did a magnet mod and never had any problem ever since, this is what helped me;

Hello Grey,

thx for your advise.
Does the magnet mode really make that difference?
Will the movement of the stich be more precise?

I love the 109, but your 110 is a beauty too! :nice:
I absolutely understand your addiction...

The x52 uses pots which are mechanical and because Saitek are cheap scumbags they use low quality ones which don't last. I haven't watched the video but this looks like replacing those with hall magnet sensors which measure proximity and convert that into a resistance value so there are no parts to wear out and they are more accurate, like all of the good sticks have.
