nostromo 52 problem

I went out and got the Nostromo but as I got home I discovered that it does not work. I am using it as my left hand command and on the right hand I have a joystick (Saitek evo) but the nostromo seems not to be compatible with a joystick. I wanted to use it for my simulator (ILS2) but if I dont get some help I just will need to trash it away. I called Belkin assistance, they suggested to try to use it without the software but even this way it does not work. Please help if you can.
Ciao.

If it doesn't work on your PC get your money back. Does it work by itself without the joystick connected? I do not think most games allow for two game controllers to be run on the same game.

 

The Nostromo works perfectly, what happenes is that the joystick stops working when the nostromo is plugged in. The 8 way hat of the nostromo makes the x and y axis movement and the joy is dead.
Thank you for your answer.
