SaitekX52 + Neodymium Magnet

[kobac]

Some of you might have heard this, and this is a post for those who don't know about this mod :smilewink:

 

It's been a long time since I bought my Saitek X52 joystick and has already started to twitch somehow stick in the cockpit. That's why I ordered 4 Neodymium magnets measuring 12x5mm, disc shaped and put them in order to increase his accuracy. Perhaps it would be better lay 12x3mm, but as you'll see from the pictures, there is enough space to insert these. The magnets are N48 strength.

Installation is simple just pinch them from outer side to already existing magnets and they themselves attract and hook - centered where necessary, as in the following picture:

 

 

I tested joystick before placing magnets, and after, so here's how it looks:

I think it's much more precise control.

I did this too. I haven't done any testing but it certainly feels more precise.

Thanks a lot Kobac. I'll buy those magnetics as soon as possible, and do that mod.
