Hi all!

Let me describe a huge issue I'm having with my trusty Saitek Rudder Pedals (yes the old ones, not the 'new' Logitech ones). Everytime I plug the pedals in Windows gives doesn't recognize the pedals and gives the Device Descriptor Request Failed Code 43 error. Interestingly, this issue started a few months back after moving to another house and replugging all my devices after setting up my desktop again. Suddenly the pedals gave this error. However, the pedals DID work when plugging the rudder pedals in via the USB hub on the Saitek yoke. They did not work when plugging them into any other hub or directly on my motherboard's USB ports.

Now, recently after not having simmed for a while, this issue creeped up again. This time the rudder pedals even give the error 43 when plugging them into the yoke.

It can't really be a device problem, because they did work fine previously and via the yoke... Also, I already tried all the USB power settings tips etc. Anybody an idea?

Best,

Evert

If you Google Device Descriptor Request Failed (43) you'll find some helpful ideas.

Unfortunately, I tried everything in that thread already, including the one marked as the answer.

Have you plugged them in to a different computer to see if they ck out okay? That's where I would start.

Yes, in about 3 other ones, and they were all running up-to-date Windows 10 versions.. Everywhere the same error.

Looks like time to get a new pair. I went thru 2 pair and finally bought something else.
