![]() ![]() USB 2.0 PCI Card - 4 Ports + 1 internal (15$).That's when I did some research and found the USB 3.0 problem. I had issues with the joystick ever since I changed motherboards, I tried all the ports and found that only the front ones were working properly with the unit. Honestly, here is what I did to fix all my problems. (For the record I run a Windows 7 64 bit machine, I'm not sure how these xHCI problems carry over to other systems or hardware configs) Unless you run into any of the other typical problems seen by x52 users, this might solve your problems and save you some of the pains I experienced. If you experience these problems 1) completely uninstall Saitek software 2) go into BIOS and disable xHCI 3) reboot windows and install the latest Saitek drivers. Disrupted internet access (yes, really).your x52 LED indicators not lighting up properly.This means that if you have a modern system with USB2 and/or USB3 your motherboard probably supports xHCI and therefore will might cause all sorts of problems when installing an x52. One of the problems with the x52 drivers (or perhaps the hardware itself, I don't know) is that it doesn't play nicely with xHCI and this information is not well documented. I had more trouble installing my x52 Pro than I have had installing any kind of hardware since about 1995. If Microsoft wants to sell Flight Simulator software then their OS department needs to ensure that the hardware/controllers can function within the software environment.Saitek drivers are bad. There are two parts that trouble me: a) Windows disengaged my third-party firewall and enabled its own firewall, and b) the X52 has been working on Windows for months on the same USB port (then it started needing restarts and driver re-installs, no nothing). Thankfully that card works fine in my new 10700k build running Win10 Pro, using the latest logitech supplied X52 Pro drivers. ![]() I ended up buying a pci-e adapter card which sports a USB EHCI chipset years ago, which solved that incompatibility problem. BUT.years ago I found that its USB chipset, at least in the one I own, is incompatible with USB XHCI.period! Even though XHCI "supports" USB 2.0, plugging my X52 into such a XHCI port always hung my computer. Just finished a MSFS flight around Kenai Fjords in Alaska and everything about my 'stick worked perfectly. No problems here with my 2006 vintage Saitek X52 Pro in Windows 10. ![]()
