It's probably been about two years since I posted here, but...

My joystick has died.  It's a Logitech 3D Extreme and it no longer recognizes the right side of the X axis.  Some google searching reveals that the pots used by Logi are junk, hence the problem.

Anyway, I want to replace it and am considering a Saitek X52.  It too has some problems, mostly with switches going south, but I don't have  a sense of how prevalent the problems are.  Anyone here have an X52?  Oppinions?
