+1. Having not used it for the last year or two due to involvement with racing sims, and it being ~11 years old, I was disappointed to find the axes ‘sticking’, and the hat not reading correctly. I ordered a new Cyborg X before properly examining the reason for the faults – a bit of careful cleaning and lubrication had it working like new again!

The Cyborg X has a mechanically built-in dead zone on the rudder axis, which is a bit annoying, but does have an additional axis and buttons. I am persevering since I did buy the damn thing, but still prefer the older one due to its feel and accuracy. Hopefully, it will prove as durable as the 3D Gold.

I would love a HOTAS set-up, but unfortunately am a bit limited for space – the same reason I haven’t replaced my Momo with a G27.
