hoochiekoo Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 As I connect my controller, HOTAS, pedal rudder, trackIR via the USB port. When I exit the game but still working on computer all day long. Should I disconnect all controller from the computer or should I left them connect to computer all the time? Should the controller trend to have shorter life if connect all the time?
BaconSarnie Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I bought my X52 in January and plugged it in, it has been left plugged in since then, it will stay plugged in until I replace it or rebuild/upgrade my computer. The only thing that affects life span on a joystick is time and useage. And lo, Reverend Vegas did say "Take forth unto the infidel the mighty GAU 8 and expend its holy 30MM so that freedom will be brung upon them who knoweth not the joys of BBBBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTTTTTT" "Amen"
