X52 Pro throttle only - ministick and binds no longer work

[Remontti]

I'm at loss here.

 

I replaced my Saitek x52 pro joystick with Gladiator pro, but I left Saiteks throttle unit. For some reason the throttle units buttons are no longer programmable with Saiteks software and mousestick no longer move cursor in windows nor in BoS.

 

So far I have tried:

-remove x52 along with drivers in device manager

-remove Program support entries (aka virtual keyboard and mouse for x52) in device manager

-uninstall saitek software

-unplug joystick

-delete x52s entries from registery

 

then reboot, install drivers, plug throttle and install software.

 

If I test throttles buttons and ministick in Control panel they all work. The ministick movement and bindings just won't translate to mouse movement and keyboard presses.

 

Any ideas?

 

EDIT:

If I plug the x52 joystick back to throttle everything works fine. I wonder if there is a way to make it work without having the x52 joystick plugged in.

I know this way - done be Bearcat. 

 

 

"Honey, I shrunk my stick!"   

 

Looks like the software need see all buttons (stick and throttle) to be able to programming.

 

You try, connect the stick, make the profile and disconnect the stick to see inf throttle work standalone, but retaining the programming?

 

Depends on what you want do, can use 3rd part key mappers (Autohotkey, Joy2Key, Xpadder... they have axis2buttons function).

Thanks for the tip Sokol. That gave me an idea and it worked!

 

I removed this part from the joystick and plugged it into throttle. Works great!

LOL.

 

You "shrunk" more the X-52 than Bearcat.
