Saitek Pro Flight Yoke X Axis not centered

This is NOT a hardware problem in my experience, which includes two Saitek Pro Flight Yoke & Throttle kits, in MSFS & P3D. After researching various theories about editing the registry and other, none of which worked consistently, I learned all one has to do is disconnect/reconnect the yoke in Win 10, and it center, and will remained centered, both X & Y axes, until you reboot again, after which the drift remanifests itself until you disconnect/reconnect. To preserve the USB port it’s plugged into on the PC I purchased this nifty USB Switch. What I do is simply turn it off when I shut down the PC for the day, then after rebooting just flip the switch back on and the yoke is once again centered, easy peasy. $6.99 on Amazon. Works great. The male end of this is actually about 32" long:
