First: Thanks for that heads-up! Looks "slightly" out of my league but still interesting.

Now for something completely different:

I've had the x52 Pro now for about a week and I must say it is impressive... in many ways... in other ways, not so much and right now I'm scratching my head. Turns out the Saitek forum is closed for new members so I'll ask here, hoping someone will have an idea:

The MFD worked fine, until today. Now the display seems to be unable to show the correct mode and shift state. I made a game profile for X:Tension naming the 3 modes WPN SAFE, LASER ARM and WPN ARM and used it successfully for a few days, the display working and all but now, with no profile loaded or even if I clear the profile and disconnect/connect the unit, it always show "WPN SAFE + Pinkie" and the "Shift" shows in the upper corner. If I press a button the correct mode and shift state is displayed for less than a second and then it returns to the incorrect mode and shiftstate. The numbers on top always show the correct mode. It's only the top line of text that is messed up and I can't for the life of me reset it back to even default "mode 1" and no pinkie.

Anyone have any idea?

Edited in: Reinstalling the drivers seems to have fixed it at least for now.

Edit 2: aaaand... it's back after an hour or so.... same issue, only this time it scrolls super fast.
