1. Test Stick
The test stick tab allows you test all the functions and features of your X65F stick.
Buttons / Hats
Press any button or use any HAT on your X65F Stick and the corresponding button or
HAT direction will light up on the page; this will indicate that the buttons and Hats are
working correctly.
Axis
The X65F stick has 3 axes, an X-axis (Left and Right), a
Y-axis (Up and Down) and a Twist or Rudder axis (Twist
Stick).
To test the X and Y axes simply place your hand on the
stick and apply pressure in the forward / back or left /
right motions, or a combination of both. You will see the
cross hair, as per the image on the left, moving around
the square test area; this indicates the X and Y axes are
working correctly.
To test the rudder axis, place your hand on the stick and
apply pressure to the twist motion of the stick. You will
see the green bar in the bottom right of the screen fill up
depending on which way you are applying pressure. This shows the rudder axis is responding correctly.
Checking the Lock Rudder box will stop the rudder on the X65F from responding. This is especially useful if you own a
set of rudder pedals – N.B. Pro Flight rudder pedals are available from our website – www.saitek.com.
