Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Saitek ST90 Joystick
Customer Review: Completely Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
I was looking for a simple joystick to use with my WWII fighter pilot game and decided to purchase the Saitek ST90. The joystick arrived with no software whatsoever. I wasn't too put off because I knew I could probably download the necessary drivers from the Saitek Web site. The problem came when I ran the driver installer. When it was nearly finished it asked me to plug in the controller, even though the controller was plugged in. Unplugging and replugging in the controller didn't help. The "profiler" software installed, but only the profile editor would work, not the Profiler itself.
None of this would have mattered if it would have simply allowed me to play the game I bought it for. But after hours of configuring, uninstalling, reinstalling and general troubleshooting the best I could do was get the controller to pitch and dive. Left and right movements were non-existent. Not much help in a fighter plane.
The Saitek user forums didn't offer any help, and my email to Saitek tech support went unanswered.
Thinking it may have been an issue with my laptops Vista software I tried to install it on my desktop running XP Pro with the same dismal results.
Not only could I NOT recommend this joystick, I'm wondering how a company that sells something of this poor quality can still stay in business!
