Hey dumbass, ANY, I repeat ANY, joystick available that is used daily will result in "centering" issues. I'm on my 3rd one of these, and my 2nd Saitek X52. What do you expect? $30, 3 axis, including twist, Best Joystick out there for $30, and I personally don't think you can find one that is "better", for under $75.
Throwing insults around wont help ur points with me Blair, so can em.
I never said cheap sticks should last forever, I was just letting people know what they get themselves into when buying one of these.
Since this is the only cheap stick ive ever owned, i can only say that ive heard from a few experienced flight simmers that there are better alternatives for discount sticks in regards to durability.
If you love this stick, GL to you, but i dont like replacing my hardware every 12 months.
I agree that the Extreme 3d Pro is fine for a certain time period before it starts to suffer from what I call "Logitech Disease". Though annoying, the Logitech sticks I've owned have lasted considerably longer than the only (and last) Saitek stick I've had. But, the first stick I bought was the old Microsoft Sidewinder (no force feedback) and that thing lasted three years before it gave up the ghost.
if you cant afford 30 dollars ervery 18 month's or so, you might wanna consider quitting gaming and start working...

Logitek is fine for ~12 months, then they tend to spike as you can see
Ive heard but not experienced that the saitek aviator is a better choice for the price range
