X52 Pro is really god piece of gear, but it have really big problems with drivers. I'm using it about couple of month and still can't get in work currectly and I stop trying. I'm thinking about swiching to Warthog.

What sort of issues are you having?

Well.. It started from problems installing drivers for Root Enumerator. I tried all possible combination of drivers and Mad Catz software versions and finaly install it, but it's not work currectly anyway. If try using macroses or just binding keyboard shortcuts on joystick buttons it doesn't work. Sometimes it just starting spamming one button and even make my pc complitely freeze.

Also screen start flickering sometimes and showing some strange symbols. But the strange thing - this only happens than I play.

Ok, the second issue about flickering. Do you have it plugged in on a USB Extension Cable? I ask because I started getting that and it was the extension cable that was bad.

The drivers I used I were the latest ones on the Website under the Support section and I had issues. I eventually uninstalled the Programming software and then used Device Manager to Uninstall all the Devices, telling it to delete the drivers. Then I reinstalled using the drivers from the FTP server at this link:
ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/x52pro/

I used the 64bit drivers and then used the Programming software there. It worked for me, but others have used the older drivers and software at this link:
64 Bit - ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/ ... are_64.exe
32 Bit - ftp://ftp.saitek.com/pub/software/full/ ... are_32.exe

I hope this helps. Mad Catz really need to step up, especially since they are supposed to make the new Controllers for RSI/Star Citizen.

Loriath, yep, it plugged into usb hub, but I tried plug in directly and that does not solve the problem

Thanks! I will try that drivers!

I plugged it in and let windows 8.1-64 do the drivers and they work fine.
I only had some mysterious happenings were my ship suddenly decided to go in silent mode or in super-cruise all by itself, that was because I plugged it in USB 3.0, after plugging in 2.0 everything is OK now.
