I am having technical difficulties with the joystick. The device was designed for Windows XP and the driver CD that ships with it has not been updated for more recent versions of the driver and profile editing software. After downloading the updated drivers and software from Saitek's confusing web site, the device is still having problems. Saitek's support has been slow to respond. I have even sent back the original device received because I thought it was possibly defective. The second device is having the same issue.I cannot recommend this device with a clear conscious. There have to be other ways to waste your time and money.
