I recieved this today, bought used off ebay. Everything seems to work fine except the hat switch. When in the calabration program, its always down. It will move in all directions but wants to stay down when centered. Still searching Saiteks forum but having no luck with it yet. Has anyone run into or heard of this problem?

Have you tried checking for debris that might be lodged in the hat switch?

I've never needed to calibrate the yoke. I just plug it in and everything works right away. I don't use Saitek's software either. Sounds like the switch is sticking. Have you asked your e-bay seller about this?
