September 24, 20223 yr Commercial Member Thinking of getting this and have a few questions from those that use it. The two front edge paddles or triggers - can they be set individually in MSFS. one for right rudder and one for left rudder? The to front edge buttons (above the triggers) - can they also be set individually, one for right brake and one for left break. I ask because my older Xbox controller can do that and I need to make sure the newest ones can. Paul Grubich 2017 - Professional texture artist painting virtual aircraft I love.

I also have the LB / RB set individually for each toe break. You should be good. Enrique Vaamonde
September 24, 20223 yr Author Commercial Member Thanks, can all the levers, switches and buttons be assigned in MSFS or are some left out?

I have even done simple modifiers, such as mapping d-pad + a button to adjust the mixture, gear, flaps, etc. I have trim and throttle to the 4 normal buttons. Hope this helps.

September 25, 20223 yr I got mine two months ago and I'm very happy with it. Use it all the time, and all the buttons and triggers can be customised in the controls menu of the sim. With a bit of axis tweaking it's even not too bad as a joystick substitute. But I had to tune the sensitivites down a fair bit. I think FlightSimHanger or whatever his channel is called has a decent tutorial. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
September 28, 20223 yr Author Commercial Member Found one locally used for 50 bucks so I had to get it. One word "amazing". I had several of the older Xbox controllers and this one is worlds apart - all buttons switches and gimbles (sticks) are soooo smooooth compared to those older units. It even works better and more seamlessly in MSFS than the older units did. Bluetooth was a snap to setup and a very solid link. I fly RC so I set my controller so the right stick is aileron and elevator. The rest is setup custom - left stick is look around, right buttons throttle up and down and flaps up and down, D pad is elevator and aileron trim, two top front buttons are right and left brakes and two bottom front levers are rudder right and left. I have not tried to use the other bottom levers and have to look more into the three light system for selecting three setups. This controller is a Cadillac for sure.

I was not going to spend the $$ on it, but eventually I caved in as I couldn't find a cheaper one in the stores, and I got impatient. The grip is excellent, and with a bit of tuning, it's completely fine as a substitute for my other gear (when I'm too lazy to drag that into place). 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
September 29, 20223 yr I was interested in this controller, until I read somewhere that the extra buttons were not recognized in MSFS Cloud edition (which I was going to use for a trip). I went with a standard wireless one. But now that I got a lighter laptop, seems interesting for my older sims (FS9, FSX).

February 28, 20233 yr I find that the Logitech MX ERGO trackball lets me do pretty much everything one-handed plus it serves as you primary pointing device. Great for zooming and panning. sp Edited February 28, 20233 yr by Sky_Pilot071
February 28, 20233 yr I have had one forever, it's a great autopilot unit and use it along with other devices
