Have all the issues been resolved? Saitek's forum doesn't offer much hope - can anyone say whether the issues have been corrected?

This is what I found on the Saitek forum (http://www.saitekforum.com/showthread.php?t=13941). There does seem to be a fix, in essence, do not load the Saitek drivers and let FS recognize the new device and a couple of other recommendation about controls 9, 10 and 11 and about adjust the config file. I am in the same situation (Nov. 2011) as Android and I guess I will go ahead and buy it. Will post the results of the experiment. Regards, Yves.

Try downloading this free software called spad it helped me and now my panels never have any problems its a driver software made specifically for the saitek panels but first you have to uninstall the old drivers by saitek.

Saitek has a 2 year warranty providing you have proof of purchase. You must pay for return shipping, which I have done 3 times already for this item. At the last lockup, I used a wrench for a day or two, and it got past the sticking part.

I do not believe so. After checking on the Saitek website for drivers, you seem to only be able to download drivers for Windows.

Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt. SHARKK responded to my review to say that would fix it in the next release, but I'm not sure if they can do a firmware fix for existing models. I would definitely contact SHARKK support to ask how they intend to fix your problem: either a firmware fix or exchange your keyboard for one that works correctly. They seem to be genuinely concerned about providing good support.UPDATE JAN 22, 2014: I received the new version of the case yesterday from SHARKK. I charged the new KB before using it, then had it on for several hours today. I'm happy to report that it has not lost its connection yet. Much improved. Hi. Yeah, it's a pain in the butt.

No it really isn't. I have had my switch panel about 5 months now. If you do get one, make sure you go to Saitek's website and upload the current drivers and software for it. There is also some very help full articles on their support website for proper set up and troubleshooting. After you get it set up properly, which is not that difficult, it makes turning on systems and lights so much simpler. Great tool I highly recommend it and the multi-panel and the radio panel. Their technical support staff is excellent also. Good luck and happy flying.

Yes, you will need to update BIOS. Dude, my advice would be to stay away from that mabo. ;-)

Thanks for the heads up. That was actually the first thing I saw before I started calling tech support. That didn't work for me. It may work for you, though. I'll post on here to let you know if I have any luck with the tech swapping out my mainboard next week.

Thank you SOOO much PK for posting this information. I have been trying to troubleshoot for hours & your advice fixed the problem! Yea!!

If you haven't already, make sure to install the latest drivers off of their website. Also update the BIOS to the latest version. Check your device manager and make sure that you have the Realtek HD drivers.

Maybe NOT if you're running Windows 10. I see many complaints about Saitek/MadCatz Windows 10 Issuese.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/hotas/comments/3h0xx8/x55_on_windows_10/

I am also having the same issue and several emails and phone calls to the manufacturer have thus far gone unanswered. Please share if you find a resolution.

Hey A. I got the Saitek Cyborg Unit and had it for a couple of days of game play for WOW. I didn't like it at all, some reason being, Is it felt like it was constructed "cheap". By that I mean the adjustable features of the palm pad and thumb control had too much play (loose). I didn't like the software for the Key setup either, it require to make time and effort. I would suggest the Logitech G13. Ton of option, easy plug and play, programming key can be done with just a couple key strokes. And the Dpad can be assign to control mouse. link to show and prove its easy. http://logitech-en-amr.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/31714/section/troubleshoot/crid/411/lt_product_id/5123/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/us,en Hey A.

Hi, a couple of thoughts on this. I had the same thing happen when I went to a new PC. It was USB 3.0 and the Saiteks are 2.0. I solved this by plugging a USB 2.0 expansion port in. Problem gone. I have dual Saitek Yokes, Pedals, two radios and the BIP.Also, I have seen similar behavior with a Go Flight Autopilot. I finally used cleaner on the potentiometers. Caution, this will void any warranty you have left. Hope this helps
