I just bought the X 45 and while it seems neat, it also seems it's going to be a pain to learn to use

Just curious I have the X45's too, what is difficult about learning? Perhaps I can assist.

The difficulty I have with the X-45 is figuring out how to map the buttons. I'm used to console joysticks that is done in the game menu, I guess.

AN example is X-Wing vs Tie Fighter. I have no idea how to get the "missle" button under the safety to actually fire the missles.

I feel stupid for not knowing because the software seems so easy but I can't seem to find any realtionship between the neat 3-d menu and the current game I'm playing lol.

I bet my 11 year old son will figure it out though!

i suspect that joystick set up will be farely easy. simply just go iinto keymap in option in SWG and choose the fuction you want. Let say you want to bind a joystick button to fire at ships. Choose fire, when the screen comes up to change the key that you want to be fire, just hot the button on the joystick and that button will be on. Joysticks have a classification in games through buttons. the trigger may be Joystick button 0, side button may be Joystick button 1, etc.. Simply just map the stick out through keymap just how you want it. Its said that JTL will be stick compatable off the bat, keys are configured already for joysticks, so you may not have to do much configuring if any at all. Just take my word on it

Good post, I personally really like my Saitek Evo. Although it looks weird and uncomfortablt its actually very comfortable for my hands as I have pretty big hands.

I've got the Saitek Cyborg USB 3D gold....

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. I've yet to have an issue with fading sensitivity...and I'm pretty rough on them. (Commanche 4 anyone?) I've had it about a year now, and no skips or glitches yet......of course after this glowing review, I'll have to go buy a new one.......lol

What do you think of the lever throttle? Thinking of getting one of these, because as far as I can tell looking at the descriptions on saitek's website, the cyborg evo does not have a throttle, and the X45 just looks like waaaay too much stuff to have on my desk.
