People experiencing the ghost button issue, are you running a wireless network card? I'm thinking maybe some type of interference. Just disabled mine for diagnostic purposes Edit, that didn't help

Received a replacement X55 today.....Same issue. I'm almost willing to live with it since it is much superior to the X52 non pro I have been using, just wish Madcatz would respond with some support

One thing I did do this morning that may have helped, is when the ghosting starts, pause the game, move the throttle levers back and forth several times full throw, and resume. I turned my LED's all the way down as well. Something has to be going on inside that throttle mechanism.

Yes, it was in stock yesterday morning. I signed up for a notification also, but never got it. You just have to keep checking.

Still having issues, but they do not occur as often. I am going to map my both my throttles to Rotary 4, and disable the throttles in the Madcatz software with the lock buttons for now, and see what happens while waiting for a solution from Madcatz. At least it is flyable this way,and you get full use of all the switches. Meanwhile, Amazon has them in stock again, and I ordered a replacement. I will have both Hotas's until I have to send one back in early June.

Well.... This evening the ghost button presses came back with a vengance. I couldn't go 60 seconds without something goofy happening. First I thought maybe because I turned the LED brightness back up, and turned my Track-IR back on, turned them both off, and still had random mishaps. After messing with the Madcatz control panel again for a bit, working each throttle back and forth seperately, the problems went away. Flew another 30 minutes or so with LED's full bright and TrackIR on. For diagnostic purposes, I disabled 3 of the rotaries that I am not using with the lock setting. I also set the only rotary I am using (as a zoom axis) to the same smooth profile as the throttles. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of it.

Not yet, waiting to confirm that it is definately resolved, but looking good so far.

Ok, I think I may have figured something out with the ghost button presses. In the Madcatz control panel, go into settings and select the throttle. From there you will see Throttle One and Throttle Two on the upper left of the window. Select Throttle One, you will see the profile with a diagonal line from the lower left corner to the upper right. If you look closely, the line is slightly jagged. On the lower right corner you will see a box where you can select the profile, on the top it has J profiles, and bottom S profiles. Select the S profile with the diagonal line and click apply. Do the same for Throttle Two. Now if you look at the diagonal line it is smoother. I just flew for an hour this way and had no issues, no ghost button presses. Something else worth noting, when playing around with the settings, if you disable the left throttle with the lock icon, the right throttle will only work with the throttles unlocked from each other. There must be some type of sensor on the mechanism that locks the two throttles together.

Just an update, I disabled both throttles in the Madcatz control panel, same as you would the rudder if you are using pedals, and in DCS mapped the throttle for both engines to a rotary that was not being used. No more ghost button presses. Next I will try disabling one throttle lever in the Madcatz control panel, since they are separate, and map both engines to the other in DCS. I will post my results. Also waiting to here back from Madcatz

Add me to the list with the Ghost Button Press issue. Happens with most of switches on the throttle only, at any moment, even while paused and hands off. Asus Mobo and AMD CPU. Cant really fly with it. I issued a support ticket with Madcatz as well. I bought mine from Amazon, but they are sold out now. I wonder if the Throttle Axis can be disabled for diagnostic purposes.

First, Thank You to Shein for the great profile! Finally got my X55. It's awesome, but I have an issue The toggle switches on the throttle are glitchy/randomly activate whenever. For instance, the landing gear will lower, flaps lower, CMS activates, all at random. Anyone else have this issue? I purchased from Amazon, but they are out of stock again, and I am hoping I can resolve the issue without returning it.
