Re: Which yoke to buy...?
Saitek has enhanced their products compared to some years ago.
My Yoke was mechanicly off center and squeeked a little so I took it apart for maitenance.
Comapred to earlier models the wiring is more rigide, still hot-glued to the pcb's and everything Saitek wants it to hold on to. Earlier models came with ultra thin wires (usually all of the same color -white- ).
I found out the bearing bridges were not tightened, causing the squeeking and unprecise handling.
* be carefull tightening the screws from the bearing bridges.... the support collums are quit thin. I used a pair of plyers to prevent the plastic support colums from breaking by torque while tightening the screws*
There is so much grease in the casing....
After greasing all the turning and sliding parts with the left over grease from the casing.... my yoke is better than ever before.
* The grease used by Saitek is quite sticky.... if you use it well, the yoke feels much more like a real one... *
Here is what the interior of the yoke looks like,

This sounds just like my yoke. I heard the earlier versions of the saitek yoke had many problems including ghost key presses and bad calibration. (mine)
Is it easy enough to remove the cover without springs etc giving me a nasty suprise lol
Thanks for posting those pics Nico
