Default Saitek X-45 question

Tried the throttle at a computer store.
I fiound the movement of the throttle to be extremely stiff.
Had to hold down the unit to move it.
Is there somewhere where you can loosen the
tension on it?

How do you like them?

There is a screw adjustment underneath.

How do you like them?

There is a friction adjust screw at the bottom of the throttle.
I prefer the X45 combo above a Flight Yoke because I can
set it aside when using the PC for "more serious" work.
The programmable buttons are ideal for flying without keyboard.
