Saitek x52 Spring Tension Mod

This video shows how to use a cd cover to mod your x52. It makes the stick of the x52 stiffer resulting it better return to center. I take no credit for creating this mod, only for making this video. The original creator (AFAIK) is MysticPuma on the www.saitekforums.com website.

Turning the plastic circle has NO effect on the tension of the stick. This is the easiest way to add tension to the stick....sorry.

[drayu]

are you asking if there are other mods that you can do? Not really sure, sorry.

Your stick is all over the place man.

It seems it doesn't work in my X52 anymore anyway, is it my imagination or does rotating black plastic circle on which spring rest on the bottom base adjust tension of the spring? Rotate one way it will become more tense, rotate other it will become more loose?

you could also stretch out the spring and then put it back, that should give you the same effect... I'm guessing...

I love the stiffness of t his mod, but it has an adverse side affect in that the increased tension creates a "stickiness" between silver baseplate and the black base of the controller. When making very small adjustments, the stick tends to rub too hard and causes jumpy movements. Not really sure of a way to resolve that, just seems like a poor design choice on Saiteks part. Great tutorial though.
