Is it a shared-axis, or separate axis setup for the two pedals?

To answer Bleys question: Yes, you can set it up single or dual axis,
which is very nice.
The pedals pop up on me, I don't use the shifter, the paddles are
great. Haven't adjusted pedal tension--seems fine the way it is. The
grip is excellent--very comfortable in my hands.
Don't like: the shape--the position of my hands is giving me a
horrible backache; the feel of the wheel: in a non-FF game, like GPL,
you can turn off the FF, which results in the wheel sort of aimlessly
or resitance-lessly turning left and right OR you can turn on the FF
and drag the damn thing from side to side.
It's only been two days, but I'm not happy with the wheel so far. I'd
wait a bit if I were you guys. I haven't given up on it yet, but I'm
getting close... And I had such high hopes for this wheel, too... :(

I thought the wheel was very loose also, until I realized you can adjust the
tension even on non-FF games. Go to game contollers/S4 properties/settings
and adjust the Return to Center setting to what your comfortable with. I
couldn't keep the car on the track (GPL) until I figured this out.

Thanks in advance,

I'll try your tip--thanks a lot! The wheel IS very precise, so if I
can get the right tension on the turning, it might work out after all.

Anyway: does your wheel think center is center? I just emailed
Saitek's tech support, because my wheel thinks it is centered when it
is a good 20 degrees off to the left. This, as you might imagine,
makes it pretty difficult to drive well and comfortably with.
I can't find any way to change this centering, either. Any ideas?
