I need to get my stick waxed.

Goldstrike

Stop that. Get your mind out of the gutter.

I mean my joystick.

Not any better, huh?

My X-45 needs some stick wax. Can anybody point me to a place where I can get this stuff. I got a sticky point when I try to depress (negative pitch) that pulls the base up.

Help is much appreciated.

Your stick needs some wax because it has a sticky point when you push it????

Please, at least make it a little challenging. This is just too easy.

Jump

Just take it apart and clean it.

Feels like I got a rough part worn on the gimbal and I think that gimbal is plastic along with everything but the spring. I'll clean her up, but I don't think that's going to solve it completely.

Jump

I believe they sell parts for replacement. Also, I see the cheapest X52 for sale on our front page is now $97. The price is going down.

Jump

Or grab a reconditioned one at a ridiculous price.

Found this on their website.

Don't see your part listed? To order other parts, e-mail support@saitekusa.com

Thanks, Jump.

I'm probably going to hold out for the X-52. The X-45 is designed for big handed peeps which I'm not.

The X-52 is for larger hands as well, although the bottom part of the stick (where your wrist rests) can adjust up or down to compensate to some degree.

Have you ever heard of vaseline?

I have my X52 set to the middle notch and find it very comfortable. Second notch is a little more comfortable but I find I rest on/into the pinky trigger too much. I've only known one person to have problems with the size of the stick after adjusting, and she has the hand build of a 6 year old so there were no surprises there. I guess when you're creating a confined space such as on that stick you have to go to extremes to make sure everyone can use it comfortably, but there are still limits.
