I got a saitek X52 Joystick as well, unfortunately I messed up something with the joystick pad itself,suddenly all the blue lamps started to flicker after I finished my last flight and the joystick went out of order. I guess there must be something wrong with the connecting cable especially the plugs as checked them as the pins are crooked connecting both control pads.I immediately ordered a spare cable by Amazone prime, hoping it turnes out to be right one on monday when I get it
