Is there a way that you can use the joystick separately? Ive already tried by just connecting the ps2 connector from the joystick itself and it does not work. For it to work i need to connect it to the throttle then from the throttle to the usb port. Is there any work around on this?

No, but why bother? The throttle is the superior piece of kit. I suppose you have a perfectly good reason, but as it is there's no real issue with having the throttle connected anyway, other than having to find a way to hide it somewhere that allows the cable for the stick to snake out.

 

The only issue would be in dealing with axis priority if you want to override the X52 throttle with something else. Not a problem in most modern games I think, particularly if you can set it up so that the X52 is not the first gaming device in the list which should make its so that whatever else you want to use for a throttle will be seen as the priority device.

ah i see. I want to use the joystick for the airbus and helis. The thing is i have my yoke already mounted on the table and i dont want to take it on and off on a daily basis. So if i have my x52 pro connected the wires would be a distraction in the middle. I wish i could use the joystick as a standalone. But anyways thanks for letting me know man. I appreciate it.

Can't you just rout the cables for the Throttle and stick behind the desk out to the side you want your sidestick on? The extra length afforded by the throttle should make it act like an extension cord if anything.
