And I had three 600 pointers running on my three machines at the same time. What are the chances of that happening, TW? I'll let you do the math since you're so smart. :D

Just to add my two bits to the discussion of newer generation sticks, I've been flying with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for over a year. And, yes, I've had to replace/rma a dozen of them. And it was always because the X axis went bad. Their pots are the pits. Recently the up hat went bad and it turn...

"The HAT itself is made from plastic, and the OMROM BF-xxxx microswitches in the mechanism are made from ceramic material. The plastic literally wears away from the friction with the ceramic. When you take it apart, you'll see that there is a lot of plastic grit in there, and the HAT toggle its...

I started losing the up hat on one of mine and found a broken solder joint on the switch. A quick touch with an iron and solder and it's good as new. I'd suggest soldering them all as long as you're in there. Grendel had the same problems with the Freedom 2.4 sticks.

Yes, Fusion is correct. That is the Extreme 3D Pro stick with twist. I love it because it's very tight on the X,Y axes. Unfortunately, the analog pots in them are very weak. I've been through 12 of them in the past year. All under warranty, mind you. And, Mobi, I'll drink what I like, thank you. So,...

Thanx, guys, for the the input. MD, your explanation cleared up a lot of things. I know you don't like Philips, but after looking at comparable units, I'm going to go with Stress's recomendation and buy that one. When you can only buy at the low end, sometimes you have to take what you pay for.

If you have the card for your premier account you can also use it at an atm and get cash.

Also, if you transfer money to your bank account, don't expect it right away. Their system takes 3 to 5 days to make the transfer.
