I ve been using mine since 2007 extensively for basically most AAA flight sims out there. I would not go with any other HOTAS and I have been considering to buy a new one for years (!) because of the "limited" number of buttons - and I always come to the same conclusion - there is nothing comparable in its price class and even the TW has no rudder axis (because it is a replica). All power to the X52 pro! Ergonomics for long flight hours and perfect handling are so important.

designamk1 idk what he gets but i can answer u for my own xps... the hotas itself is great, the software from Logitech sucks as hell ! (original software from saitek is bugged or too old, unusuable) with IL2 Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad (flightsim, not arcade game) there are conflicts between game/keyboard/x52pro software soon as u try to use more of 1mode... same for double trigger, soon as u create a profile inside software, usual concept of pressing/release the trigger to openfire/ceassing fire is wasted (for awefull: "press to openfire in continue ; press again to ceasse fire" wich is a pure waste of ammos and deeply against basic dogfight sensations !), and no way to get it back except play without customized profile of x52pro software, without 6modes and without double trigger... there, no trouble, sure. but waste both major assets of the product just coz software sucks is really insane ! i bought it 15days ago, spent 60h since only to configure the beast, found ways to fix little troubles, but these major programmation errors of x52pro software (with il2 BoS, i cant judge for DCS yet) are unfixable without a patch from Logitech ! sooo... :/ a beautyfull beast, yeah... ^^ if u dont push too far to maximize ergonomy and customized options and if u are lucky to enjoy games devs have chosen to build this hotas... there its a good product ! ...beside, if u leave these limits, u are f*cked ! and u must not be hurry for support from helpdesk of Logitech too... afaik (and with others comments i've seen on their forum, i am not the only one waiting help i guess) so, be sure of what u wait from a hotas before buy this one... ^^ for arcade games and basic gameplay or for optimized games specified (FSX for x52pro) its cool... soon as u push a little deeper to optimize "theorical" advanced assets of the product...... ISSUES START !!! :/

I'm also considering the TrackIR, but that's a seperate issue.

+AT@Creativity ! You will love it. Let me point out some things that you might need to know about the x-52 that got me frustrated at first but then I kinda solved them. 1st) The thrust controller has 2 points at the start and at the end that disallow smooth movement. Think of it like 2 bumps that after that point in some simulators the afterburner is enabled. For example that is true for Lock-On games. But I cant figure out how to use this in Elite dangerous... Anyway, it got me frustrated because I wanted to have smooth movement all the way from start to end, but that is impossible (aslong as you dont open it and remove the "bumps") and what I did, is that I tweaked the dead zone parameters so that I can achieve 0 and 100% thrust after the 1st and before the 2nd bumb. 2nd) The drivers. Use the latest drivers ONLY. Go to their website and download those instead of those in the CD rom and thank me later :P 3rd) The god damn profiler... The 'profiler' is a program coming with x52 that allows you to assign x52 keys to keyboard buttons and later on in the game you can use different profiles with the profiler switch.... It just, didn't worked for me... :/ I don't know why, but if you search all the x52 forums, you will see, that the profiler is just broken. And it causes lots of problems. But let me explain. When I had the profiler "on" with all my profiles of different buttons ready for action. While playing any game and after 5 minutes or so, the controller was losing contact with the game in a way that I had to disconnect my x52 and reconnect it again to my PC to be able to use it again in the game... When I bought it and that started to happen, I was depressed. I thought that my stick was broken, I was about to open it (loose the guarantee) and try to see what is wrong with it... And hopefully I didn't do that (stupid move) but instead I searched on forums and people were saying that's the profiler's problem. So I uninstalled the profiler and now works like a charm... 4th) Mouse button 1 button, mouse button 2 button, mouse wheel and mouse mini joystick. Those are 2 buttons, a wheel and a mini joystick that are placed on the thruster controller. Those buttons have pissed me off because I couldn't find how to assign them to any keys, but I found the solution! So. Those buttons and wheels, control your mouse (instead of controlling it with the mouse itself :P) So if you want to assign any keys to those buttons of wheels you have to assign different keys to the mouse itself, in order for them to be applied in the game for the ones I mentioned. 5th) The ' i ' button. Ok, another frustration of mine .... This is a button that didn't worked no matter what I did. I also thought that my truster button was broken and I searched the forums and I found that you have to enable "Clutch mode" and maybe "Latched Clutch mode" also. So when you buy the game you can contact me to tell you how to do it, in order for the key to work... 6th) The pinky button... Ok this is a button located in the Stick and it's for the pinky finger (a pinky finger trigger yo xD) that if you install the drivers in the CD ROM it will play, but if you use the latest drivers it won't play -.- What is going on with this one, I don't know, I'm still searching the forums... :/ I think that's pretty much all... So you get an Idea that things are not as "good" as they appear to be... People are reporting tons of problems with x52 and x52 pro, so when you buy it! Get ready for a lot of forum searching :P

I have the standard X52 and it feels flimsy, the spring is light so you find your arms getting tired because instead of the joystick partly holding your hand your entire arm must be tensed to hold it in the right spot. The buttons feel tacky, and the rotational dials stick or are just hard to turn. Maybe the pro version is better but I was disappointed with the standard version.

It can help you learn the basics. Most GA aircraft use yokes which are different to use to some extent. Also you are usually flying with your left hand and running throttles with your right hand.

I am not really into flight sims but mechs, jets, or space ships are all fine as long as I get to shoot at other people while flying around. I used to play Mech Warrior games and I used to use a Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold (which I may still have) for that as well as Star Wars Galaxies Jump to light speed. What modern combat games can you suggest as I miss the feeling of using a joystick. If EvE online used one I would be happy but sadly the few games that I find that support a joystick tend to do a poor job or the time used is not worth the investment. (Battlefield) And I know there is a new MechWarrior game out but for some reason something just feels off about it, perhaps just that some of the classic mechs I always used are not in it I don't know. It has been some time since I have tried it though.

I’ve had one of these for 6 years now and it’s still running strong with no malfunctions. Check my videos out, all flown with the x52 pro.

There is a simple mod you can do by sticking a round piece of plastic under the spring, Look it up on here you can find videos. But you have to set dead zones because it cant move as far..

You say in the video that you can change the light colors to anything but I have read that it only offers red, amber, and green. Which is true?

I don't know if anyone still comes to this vid but I'm debating on whether buying the standard X52 or the Pro. What are the significant differences? I just like the way the X52 Standard looks compared to the all black of the Pro.

bugs181 I'm looking at the same thing. So far the pro is winning. It has more tension on the stick and twice as many sensors so more responsive. Looks better but I'm going for functionality in the end, so the pro is it for me!

Richard Easton Thanks for sharing! After researching sticks for several hours, I feel like the X52 standard is more suited to my needs. I only wish the throttle control itself had 2 easily reachable buttons on the handle. Then it would be more suited to the games I play like planet-side and Elite Dangerous. The jury is still out on this one. I don't really need the advanced tension or sensitivity. The X52 standard + 2 buttons on the throttle would be sufficient. Is there anyone out there that could recommend such a setup?

If you mean the LEDs are a different colour, then according to this review, they change depending on your settings. The non pro version has a silver grey & black case, with light coloured buttons, not mostly black like this one. I saw the ad you mean, and it is for the non pro version. The confusion might be that Saitek advertise both sticks as pro flight sticks, though that isn't a good enough excuse imo. Get the x52 for less than £90 and the pro for just over £100 (ebuyer.com / amazon.co.uk)

The manufacturer had problems sourcing one of the chips so had to redesign part of the system to incorporate a different chip. They have now started to appear for sale again.

I got a Logitech "Extreme 3D Pro"joystick with a tiny obnoxious throttle lever in front of the stick, not the stick is very comfortable, but I need a bigger throttle, the one on this stick is too small, inaccurate and was already showing wear and tear after the first week of using it. I need a good throttle I can place where I like, that fits my palm size. Any recommendations?

I bought my Saitek F.L.Y 5 6 months ago, and I'm having some unusual un commanded movements. I tried calibrating it but it's no use It always goes to a Rudder Hard over to the right which is really annoying. I'm looking at this X52 and my concern is.. the Durability is it going to be Reliable? If so please tell me, that would be a big help. Thanks

i would buy this no problem, but i'm left handed. does anyone know of any similar quality joysticks for lefties, or is it easy to adapt to using it the other way around? The one i use at the moment is ambidextrous, so i don't have the problem at the moment

I recently purchased the X52 Pro and the flight stick is very loose. If i grab the base of the it and tilt it forward the stick moves forward. Is this and experience you had / is there anyway i can make the flight stick more tense and not soo loose?
