Joystick to usb

The joy stick comes with a CD. Put the CD on the tray, and let the computer runs the software. On the CD there are driver for the joy stick itself, and driver for the USB . click on install joystick, after that, click on install the USB drive. that is it. Then a test screen will appear and asks you to check your joystick movements and buttons .push on the buttons,on the joystick, and you will see that they turn red on the computer screen each time you push a button, meaning your computer reads the commands from the joystick, You are set.
If you do not have the CD, then go to the Logitech site. and go to support, and from there you can download the drivers for the joystick.

You may need to update/roll back your driver

1. go to device manager
2. select the saitek st90
3. click update
4. if no updates are found click roll back

Good luck!

The joystick should come with a USB cable to connect to the computer. Once you have connected the joystick to the computer go to your control panel and click on the Printers and Other Hardware. Next you can click on Game Controllers, next you click on add and click on how many buttons there on the joystick (Example: 4 buttons joystick w/throttle). Once you have completed these steps you want to click on the controller then click on properties to give your joytick a test run before you play a game you have.
I hope this information can help you and hope you enjoy your games that you use with your joystick.

I just bought a copy of ControllerMate. Solved all of my button problems with my new Extreme 3D Pro and FA-18 OIF. You can program all the buttons in any way you want. Single key or multi-key entries. I'm running it all on a new MacBook Pro 2.53 Core i5 and it works perfect.
I was astounded that the old 2003 OIF would work on this new intel mac but it does.

Hi,
I too have this exact same joystick so when I tried to plug it into my new pc (that I built 2 yrs ago as of Feb.14,11) I had to use a: 15-pin to USB adapter with chord.
I got it from eBay.ca in the $5-$10 range shipped to me from Chnia.

It's called the: Super Joy Box 7 USB Gameport Adatper

They are still available from eBay.ca & eBay.com as of Dec.06,10 (the time of writing this posting).

For me it wokrs, but only 1/2 - as in:
- the fire button + 3 other buttons - work fine
- the HAT switch (4-way) - refuses to work
- the full range of the joysticks motions are reduced (on the right side)

Because of these limitations I had to learn to used the keyboard buttons to fly planes & choppers in the pc game - GTA:SA.
I plan to buy the pc game GTA4 as soon as it goes down in price of it's current $20 & buy a...
Saitek Cuborg Graphite Joystick PS21 that is newer and uses a USB connection.

the L3 R3 are the joysticks! push down on the joysticks like buttons much like how you zoom in sum games its that,

From what I read, you can use a Belkin DB15 to USB Joystick 8" Adapter. They're available online in many online stores.

15 pin to usb, maybe but your not going to get any support from windows or logitech. to see if it deos work plug into pc and check the device manager under sounds video and game controller should show up as logitech device. here is the driver to help with recognition. no test function, wil have to use the game to prgram buttons if available.

Did you purchase it open-box or second-hand? If so, you shouldn't be surprised at the lack of a manual. If you bought it new, it may not have come with one.

I personally have one of these joysticks, but I bought it so long ago that I can't remember if it came with a manual or not.

Either way, there really isn't much need for a manual for this joystick. It doesn't have any very advanced features that would require a manual. It's very simple to use:

1. Plug it in to an open USB port on your computer.
2. It should be automatically detected by your operating system. If not, you may have a defective joystick or a defective USB port. Try the joystick in another USB port. If the problem persists, check Logitech's website.
3. In Windows, click Start->Control Panel->Game Controllers. You should see the joystick listed. Select it and click Properties.
4. It should open a new window to the "Test" tab, where you can make sure all the buttons work. I suggest you click on the "Settings" tab at the top left.
5. Click "Calibrate..." and follow the prompts. It'll ask you to keep the joystick centered and press a button on the joystick (use one of the side buttons such as 11 or 12 so that you don't inadvertently move the joystick from center).
   
6. Then it'll ask you to move the joystick in complete circles. Do this several times and advance to the next step.
   
7. It'll ask you to move the throttle slider up and down. Do this several times and advance to the next step.
8. It'll ask you to set the "Z-rotation," which is the left/right twist of the handle. Do this several times.
9. It'll ask you to center it and press a button. See step 5 above.

Now the joystick should be calibrated and ready for use. If you have multiple game controllers, you may want to click the "Advanced" tab back in the Game Controllers window and make sure the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is selected as the preferred device.

Now start whatever game you want to use it with. You'll probably have to configure what you want the buttons on your joystick to do within the game; follow the instructions that came with the game.

Pretty simple, and like I said, there are no advanced macro functions or anything like that for this joystick.
