Logitech X52 Flight Gaming Control System

So, True confession. I bought this to replace my old X52, originally built before Logitech purchased Saitek. The previous one lasted for 15 years before it finally gave up. So far the only thing that has changed is a logo. This is a great flight stick with extra knobs for trim or mixture. Great for MSFS, DCS, Star Citizen, Mechwarrior 5. It slots straight into the original profiling software without a hitch and feels the same as when I first purchased the original, which in this case, is a great thing. So, True confession.

To some this is old school, but work nice with Microsoft Sim X . I like the ability to switch between aircraft as well as helicopters. To some this is old school, but work nice with Microsoft Sim X . I like the ability to switch between aircraft as well as helicopters.

I purchased this controller top replace my 10 year old MadCat Joystick. I did purchase it on special but now I have the item I would gladly pay the full price. This is a superlative controller - great for Microsoft FS or XPlane (I have both). Thoroughly recommended I purchased this controller top replace my 10 year old MadCat Joystick.

Great price from PB Tech click and collect, a safe and great service. The X52 is easy to setup and I was flying in no time. Heaps of options for button combinations, really enjoying it.

I owned this many years back when it used to be SAITEK. I used it mostly to play Il2 Sturmovik 1946.
The stick is loose, poorly made, and the spring tension is far too low. The axis curves cause rise suddenly, and it makes it very hard to have any precision when the stick is pulled to its extremities. This is inherent to the stick, and cannot be changes with software. It makes it hard to use for WW2 dog-fighting. I also broke after a few months. I ended up swapping it out for the CYBORG Evo by SAITEK (It was a GOAT stick).

The throttle on the other hand was brilliant.
Solid, programmable, precise.

The throttle on the other hand was brilliant.
Solid, programmable, precise.
Trim, prop pitch, mixture etc was made breeze by the wheel slider. The extra programmable buttons made it a true 'Hands On Throttle and Stick' experience.
The ability to control the mouse pointer with a programmable blue knub by the thumb was excellent for games with mouse look, and made tracking targets easier with the absence of TRAK I/R hardware.
Paired with another stick, it made an excellent throttle.
Adjustable resistance was the cherry on top.

Logitech should consider selling the throttle separate .

This controller is great.
I bought it at an amazing price with PB Tech.
You can customize the buttons and have more than 50 different combinations
Highly recommended.. This controller is great.

No 64bit software available. Older design with a long reach to many of the buttons. No 64bit software available. Older design with a long reach to many of the buttons.
