Saitek X-45

**MA_Moby** · 21-12-2003, 12:54 AM

Does anyone know the cheapest place to pick up a Saitek X-45 joystick and throttle? Amazon.co.uk has it at 74 quid, but I don't trust 'em. I'm thinking of retiring my logitech wingman force 3d - it seems so damned loose and imprecise (though I'll miss the force feedback). Mind you, like all bad craftsman I'm probably just blaming the tools

Dabs have it for 58.75 inc if that any help ?

or if you're feeling particularly gullible, theres a second hand one on ebay currently at £62 plus postage with some time left to go before the auction ends

Gotta love ebay customers sometimes

Gone now I think? I assume it got sold for more than you can buy a new one for?

**[MA]DanglyBob** · 21-12-2003, 07:05 PM

went for £62....not including p+p

do I email the buyer with the dabs link?

**MA_Moby** · 21-12-2003, 07:55 PM

thanks for the dabs link

much better than the uber-capitalists at Amazon

i think i'll wait n' see what the January sales bring though

got to get my car serviced and fixed too - and that'll cost

Aria - £57.58 plus P&P

**MA_Moby** · 24-12-2003, 11:25 AM

thanks Clingy

it keeps getting cheaper

I think I definitely need to replace the Logitech Wingman, it seems to be getting worse by the day

Dedicated and regular PC pilots recon you should replace your joystick every year!!!

We probably don't put the hours in that would warrant this, so every two years is probably more appropriate. I was reading something about the Cougar (Thrustmaster) all metal thingy. That has to be serviced annually (Holland I thnk).

Clingy, I've had my stick for over a year now, I think your just trying to justify your breaking of said peice of equipment so you can replace it.....

**Hat** · 24-12-2003, 01:48 PM

**fraggie** · 24-12-2003, 02:13 PM

ive got a MS precision 2, and tbpqh, its crap

lol, cant afford another at the mo so will badger on with it, its not stiff, the throttle is easily knocked, the buttons are sticking down, its not very nice in general, but ill plod on and persist

**Neil Washbrook** · 24-12-2003, 02:35 PM

X45 is an awesome stick - especially if you start playing things like LOMAC - the main trick is to remember what you have programmed where!

**Cesium** · 24-12-2003, 03:42 PM

My throttle is buggered on the X-45

It wont go all the way to the top, its a real ba$tard in lo-mac
