Yeah, after installing the drivers from Saitek's website, I got it working as advertised. But, I've discovered something else that I don't like: the extra functions keys are crap. Normally, you push a key on the keyboard and it performs whatever it's supposed to. Well, those stupid things perform only when they want. Light touch - it might work, hard push - it might work, beating the crap out it - might work.
Don't buy Saitek.
Yeah, Tyler, to make things worse, I don't just have Vista, I have Vista 64
