Have you tried this?

Quote:set to one of the buttons for example a key "a", then open a text file and try to click that button if it will write a letter "a".

If that won't work, do the following: right click on My Computer, select Properties, click on Hardware tab, click Device Manager, search for Saitek Magic Bus and look into it. There should be Saitek Magic Hotkey Device, Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse and Root Enumerator.
Do you have it there?[/quote]

This seems to be the best thread to ask questions about this stick.

I'm using rotary 1, rotary 2, and the precision slide for trim. Instead of setting a button for the trims and using SST to map it to sliders, I just set it in the HOTAS controls in-game, which seems to me that it would be the best way to set those. Since there is a delay when you hit a keyboard button for the trim, I figure there would be a delay with the knobs and slider if you mapped them to a keyboard command, and if you set it in the HOTAS controls of the game there is no delay while trimming. I would like them to be less sensitive though, where you have to turn the knobs or move the slider more to get the desired effect. I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this. Any suggestions?

Well, I think that if you set rotaries and slider in a game controls there is no way how to decrease it's sensitivity, because if you want to decrease sensitivity, in fact it is a cut from rottary enlarged to a whole rotary. For example, you take 50% of rotary move to one side and 50% to the other side and enlarge it to a 100% move to one and other side. This way you will have 2 times more sensitive trim but you won't be able to set plane's trim to it's real end (just to it's half).
I don't know exactly how did you set it in SST. Is it working like when you set it in game controls or is it working like that if you turn it a little to one side it reacts like if you press some key and to the other side as another key?

I actually did set them in game. I was trying to use SST to make them less sensitive. The trims are so sensitive it's hard to get them right on sometimes. I wish there was an option in game to change the sensitivities of the trims. The only ones I've seen are pitch, roll and yaw.

I didn't try it yet, but I was just assuming that if you set the trims to a key, then used that keystroke in SST, that you would still get the lag like when you use the keyboard trim.
