Saitek Cyborg Evo owners...

[Richdog]

I just bought and received a Saitek Cyborg Evo Wireless and while it looks the business there's a few build quality niggles putting me off. The adjustable three buttons at the top (can be elevated/dropped) seem really... loose. The left one in particular seems to come out of it's "joint" a little, requiring me to click it back in, and the right one does the same albeit to a lesser extent. The adjustable section the buttons are on also creaks. Also, for extra moanage points, does anyone else think that if you'r right-handed the right three buttons are going to be a nightmare to press?

Anyone have similar niggles with theirs? Wondering whether I should try returning it and getting another or not.

Go ask their support guys over at the official forums, they're always pretty helpfull

umm i have the wired version.. and i consider it the best joystick ive ever used.. my buttons seem fine im afraid...

the only gripe i ever had with it is them moving the throttle to the middle and not a thing on the side... i find if im wearing a long sleeve t it will snag on the throttle

I can't say my buttons are at all loose, not more than any other controller anyhow (wired version). Sorry, sounds possibly faulty.

Any reason for getting the wireless btw?

The only thing that annoyed me when I first go it, was that if I moved the shaft quickly to one of the extremes the base would lift a little. Don't notice it anymore.

Have a guess.

Works fine, tested it in Freespace 2, no lag either

Only gripe I have is that it's not an accurate stick for pinpoint precision due to the stiffness of the stick when moved in small increments. Leads to jerky dogfighting.

Lol, I mean is wired not feasible or something? The wireless Evo's don't have a great rep. It is a very stiff stick, only takes a little getting used to, should losen up some too.
