Happy new toy mate.
I've got all 'global device settings' on 75% with centring spring enabled and also at 75%.
This seems to work fine for me with all my 'game profiles' also set at 75% within the profiler software on all settings.
My stick also buzzes, so I'm glad yours does too! It also kicks around a lot on computer start-up.
I suppose keys are a bit of a personal preference thing, but for Cliffs I've got the front wheel on the throttle for mixture, front two buttons for engine 1 and engine 2, side wheel for prop pitch, side top button engine start, lower button select all engines. I've got the gear and flaps mapped to the top pov stick on the throttle also. Not found a use for the lower hat switch yet. The buttons on the base are currently rad open and close x 2, toggle carb heat x 2 and fuel toggle x 2, but maybe this is a waste.
Moving to the stick, the trims are, well, the trims, S1, S2 and S3 are for arming bombs, opening doors and bomb drop, I'm saving 'fire' for the extinguisher! The switch under your little finger is handy for brakes on Brit a/c and I've got the thumbswitch doing the F10 cursor on/off function. Both hat switches aren't used yet on the stick.
The rudder is obviously rudder and brakes r + l.
I had a bad software issue at first as you may remember, but this is now sorted and the stick is as smooth and responsive as I could want in all sims/games. Now I just have to get used to it all over again.
Have fun!
