Hi,I've had the Saitek yoke probably 2 1/2 years now, and if any of you have that yoke, you'll know, that if you move the POV hat switch, you'll hear a little click.This click went away about 3 weeks ago, but only if I pressed down on the POV hat, all other directions had audible clicks.Now if I press right on the hat switch, the click went away again.Is this fixable, or do I have to buy a whole new yoke?

I just started having the same problem (no click when pressing down). I opened up the yoke and took a look inside, and it seems that the hat switch works by clicking 4 different little buttons. The bottom one would not click or go down, as it seemed to be stuck. I messed around with it for awhile, but I could not get it to get unstuck. My question it the same as yours, will I have to get a new yoke, or can it be fixed somehow? Seeing how this is an old thread, did you (OP) get it fixed somehow?

Well, don't want to make any false statements, but reading other posts on Saitek hardware and quality of it, especially after the use of approximately 2 years, some parts are going to present problems:Saitek Throttle pots, buttons, pedals not working, just to name some.My TQ also started spiking. Fortunately warranty is just still active. But I'm not hoping for much.

Saitek is notorious for not providing an avenue for parts when they fail...and they use cheap components that are not easily replaceable with standard parts obtainable from electronic supply houses.So unless you've got the mechanical and electrical skills to custom-fit a different kind of part, you're probably not going to be able to fix an out-of-warranty Saitek controller.One of the bennies of the expensive PFC stuff for me is that I have always been able to get a part with just a phone call. Over ten years, I replaced the pots in my PFC yoke/throttle quad/rudder pedals a couple of times before I finally did a custom retrofit of the position transducers using Hall Effect sensors.
