Well, to answer the question on the Pan Knob, yes.  It pushes in.  Yes, it centers it.  Just did it.  So yes, I didn't see that on any videos online.  I probably wouldn't have known this had Jeff not mentioned it...since you know...I didn't read the manual.  lol.
 
Thanks for the tip, Jeff.  Great feature.

Just to be clear, are we talking about the same thing?

I am referring to the FaderPort, not the 8 or the 16.

When you push the Pan knob does it have a click feel when it depresses?

Thanks

Oh ok.  I have the Faderport 8.  THAT does have the Pan knob as a button.  I don't know about the regular. 

Calling someone dumb for not reading the manual of the FaderPort is DUMB..as in DUMBA$$.  Weak, one step away from trolling, my opinion. 
Regarding using my FaderPort in Cakewalk, the MIDI/Controller settings never stay set.  I just spent enough time being frustrated this time that I lost all that happy vibe of starting a song. Destroying my mood, the original idea for my song ,and workflow...is there a plus in that?  It  doesn't seem smart to use a DAW that keeps "forgetting" settings. It works in Studio One 3.5 and also Samplitude Pro X3 and Reaper. I was planning on going full tilt with Cakewalk by BandLab but the constant war with the controller/midi settings is... DUMB. See, that's where it is appropriate to use that word, not towards people asking for a bit of help from forum community. The analogy of driving a car is a great one, hat's off on that. 
So, if I don't want to continue being DUMB myself, the question is why am I going to continue using Cakewalk by SoundLab if it doesn't even let me use a simple FaderPort, considering the other DAW's I use do? There are MANY things that totally rock with SONAR, er...Cakewalk, but fighting with my controller, resetting MIDI ports and specifying this and that is not one of them!
I am no hardcore ex-Sonar user; I started with a VS-20 and Guitar Tracks 4, have worked my way up with upgrades in SONAR until the Gibson fiasco. I was genuinely excited and hopeful all would be good and I could make it my main DAW. 
Anyone that knows a permanent solution within Cakewalk By BandLab to set up FaderPort, please PM me. I really don't want some beak calling me dumb for participating in this forum

Sonar 2017.x+, so including CbB, has problems when MIDI configuration is changed. Only developers can fix it.
The situation is way better in case there is no "orphan" devices in the Windows Device Manager (there is an option to show them) and the entry for currently connected device is the "first" one for this device (not always the case after cleaning other instances, deleting the device and (auto)reinstalling helps). Such instances are created when another USB port is used for connection since Windows think that is a "new" device but there is no reason to remove "old" one.
 
Off-topic, but update about USB hubs: my 10m long hub does not have problems with USB2 interface (Phonic firefly 808), even when not powered separately (that was a requirement for stable VS-20 operations, since it is USB powered).

I've had a Faderport (single) for about 3-4 years now. I was not so happy about it in the beginning ... lot of mess with frequent Firmware updates ... and I found the Presonus web site a bit hard to navigate on the matter. After that I've been fairly happy with it. A bit cheep feel on the buttons, they are a bit hard to push ... and it looks like I have worn out the Stop button after years of use. Need to push it REAL hard for it to work. Faders is working smooth and nice still though. Also whole unit his with a metal front plate and fairly heavy ... sits steady on the desktop.
 
Recently took the time to configure it with use for Sonar and CbB, it was fairly easy with the help from all the good people in here. Before that I was using the VS-100 with Sonar, even-though I think it has nicer push buttons ... the VS-100 is a bit lumpy and take more desktop real estate (which is scares in my case).
