December 28, 201213 yr Guys, how is the Saitek X52. I have read reviews and it doesn't seem to good? Do you have any other joystick suggestions? Thanks! Happy Landings! - Jay Hutchinson
December 30, 201213 yr I have 2 X52 Pro's and they are nice... Obviously not real life pro feel, as their only plastic, so after cost of shipping, profit margins, exports and manufacturing costs, they are probably a £50 joystick, probably less, but they work ok. Depends on what you want to use it for too... Long term heavy bashing, probably not a good idea. I have a bit of a bug with one of mine in that the trigger fails to respond unless pressed many many times, but it sounds like the microswitch is not clicking when squeezing it, but I bought mine second hand, so have no idea what was done to them before I got them.
