TheAwesomeCobra Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Thanks for looking- Today I bought a Saitek throttle quadrant used, and it won't be detected nor will the power led turn on. It has an s-video connector, which seems to fit into both ports on my pc (mouse and keyboard). So do I have to attach it to a hubbed and s-video-armed USB controller, then to the pc? The only other Saitek controller that I have is a USB x52 throttle (no stick). The attached pictures might help. The last one has some red on it, labeling a part where the metal part is taller than the rest... that's normal, right? Or is it obstructing its connection to the pc so that you can only use it while plugged into other Saitek products? I'm really lost... Any help is appreciated! -TheAwesomeCobra Edited June 20, 2018 by TheAwesomeCobra Forgot to attach files
stinger2k2 Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 That is designed to fit into the Saitek yoke which then attaches to the pc via usb. I think you need the usb version of the quadrant to use without the yoke. Someone may correct me however. Sorry. Cheers Stinger Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
TheAwesomeCobra Posted June 20, 2018 Author Posted June 20, 2018 Dang it... that's ok, thanks for the help.
TheAwesomeCobra Posted June 20, 2018 Author Posted June 20, 2018 So i did some more research, and it is actually a ps/2 connector, not s-video. But the throttle quadrant itself is really just a few pots and levers inside of a box, which does not include the actual driver/controller. Looks like nothing will be happening to this lever box... Thanks for all the help!
MrUnSavory Posted June 20, 2018 Posted June 20, 2018 This is the throttle quadrant that comes in the box with the Yoke. The Yoke is required as anything with a PS/2 connector is not plug and play and will not be recognized. Previous poster was correct that you need the stand alone version with the USB connector. Now just find yourself a used Yoke and you are good to go. :)
TheAwesomeCobra Posted June 21, 2018 Author Posted June 21, 2018 Well, looks like used yoke prices are still about $150, way out of my budget. I only got the quadrant because it was $4. Too bad I can't use it... But thanks for the help anyways.

SirGr3mlin Posted February 25, 2022 Posted February 25, 2022 I know it's now 2022, but for those who have these PS2 throttles and want to connect them to their PC as a game controller (without requiring the yoke) there is a way, I've been working on it for a we while and have a pretty stable system, it allows 2 throttles connected. Giving you access to the 12 buttons aswell, I can post more details if interested. 1
