Sieg Valahn Seeing as you've been playing WT with this stick for a couple of months now, can you tell me your thoughts? I've been looking for a good stick, and the x52 Pro is currently at the top of my lis because the Thrustmaster Warthog seems a bit too heavy duty. the x52 is HOTAS and has plenty of buttons for all my functions (I've already mind-mapped them to the controls) allowing for only minimal kb usage. I'm also considering the TrackIR, but that's a seperate issue.

@-_Nuke_-8 жыл бұрын
+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

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 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.

The pro is pretty much just the newest version of it. As far as i can tell the only differences between the standard and pro are multicolor LEDs (standard has blue only), metal buttons for longer life probably, and it looks a bit nicer. I use the standard and it didnt seem like this one did anything different function-wise. Either way its a great joystick. Ive had mine for about 5 yeas now and it still works like new.
@memkiii11 жыл бұрын
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 only thing missing in the review, and frankly the only negative thing i can find on this joystick, are the two wheel-buttons below the lcd on the throttle part. It is almost impossible to turn them without actually pushing them at the same time. This drove me crazy more than a couple of times. Other than that I love this stick. Best one I've ever had and I've had quite a few.

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?

Does the stick have good movement precision? I used to have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro a while ago and wasn't satisfied with the movement detection it had when I would try to fly the plane... It was too clunky in my opinion, and so flying in a straight line became impossible without trim. I upgraded to the T1600m flight stick a few months ago and LOVE the precision I have with it I can move my hand ever so slightly and watch my ailerons move just a TINY bit and I get all tingly seeing that happen and it makes for a fantastic flying experience having so much precision control. But the thing is, how does the X52 Pro feel when flying a plane doing precise maneuvers? Would you be able to pull off stunts with relative ease (assuming you're a skilled flight sim pilot in the least)? Is there a nice range of movement that you can do with the stick? I loved the review you gave and it looks great so far with all it can do but I am still really curious as to how it actually performs with aerobatics and combat. Thank you.

Excellent review. Thank you. :-)

thanks for your review- I really only need the throttle- can you run the throttle separately without having to have the flight stick connected as I have a flight stick I prefer already..? thanks for your reply!

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.

Let me guess, that intro sound was from modded IL-2 Sturmovik 1946. Probably it was the engine starting sound from sabre. Am I right? :D

+Cnuggat Are there significant differences between the regular and the pro versions?
@flyingdolphino57578 жыл бұрын
+Trusteft Yeah, I have been researching the two sticks myself and it turns out that the pro version has more metallic parts, Tends to have a longer lifespan and unlike the non-pro, Its very hard to break. The only breaks happened during shipping. Also the pro has two springs vs the one on the regular

Angryal555 Thank you. I couldn't wait and I ordered a Rhino X-55. :)

+Trusteft ah well. Glad I could be some assistance even though a bit late it seems. Good choice any how

Angryal555 Thank you. Have you made up your mind as to what you will buy? I went for Rhino cause it was about 15 percent more expensive than pro.

Hi, I got one of these yesterday and it's great. One thing you mention at the start of your review is the LED customisation. I can only change mine to amber green or red. How did you get the other colours? It's something I really want to do to easily identify what does what in Elite. Thanks and good video :)

You have to have the pro version I presume.

FirstPersonGamer ah thanks but I figured out you could only have the three colours on the Pro. I got it all configured nicely now and it's a great peripheral. Take care :)

Pro is made with higher quality materials, different LEDs and a better screen on the throttle. Pretty much it.
