Joystick Issues: Your input needed!

Hey all,

We've been having problems with our Saitek ST290 joysticks (which we love) and the driver station. After a short period of use, the DS just locks up, and requires a reboot. The ST290s fit the HID spec, so the DS should be fully compatible with it. Has anyone else been having these sorts of problems?

Thanks,
Blair

You might be having static issues. Refer to Update 7 on how to fix them.

Already taken care of. Is there anyone out there who has had success with the ST290s and the DS? I'm looking for positive confirmation. Thanks again!

Re: Joystick Issues: Your input needed!

Are you sure the problem is with the joysticks and not the DS? Have you tried with other joysticks after you started experiencing problems?

We have used the ST290s with the DS without problems, although I don't believe it we did so with the current DS firmware.
