Saitek controllers

Just wondering how many of you have a Saitek controller and how long have you had it?

Myself I have a Saitek X52 I have used it so much I don't even recall when i purchased the thing.I know it was some time ago around 2005~2006 and it is still going strong never had any real issues with it.

The only pesky thing about it is that the spring on the yoke is a bit soft so it makes a funny rubbing sound when you pull all the way forwards or back on the yoke.Also it seems to take it a minute or two to fully turn on after the USB plugs in.The throttle HOTAS takes time to warm up.Neither are real deal breakers though.I bet this thing will easily last 10 years.

I was just curious what you guys think of Saiteks is my case the norm or a fluke?Best $120.00 I have ever spent on a control device.
