From the manufacturer

Precise Combat Flight Sim Action

A fully integrated hands-on-throttle-and-stick flight controller that meets or exceeds the demands of the best flight simulator pilots.

Closer to Reality

The X52 Pro boasts an upgraded multifunction LCD which shows in-game data in real time, a progressive throttle with tension adjustment, plus an adjustable joystick with a self-centering mechanism. The X52 Pro takes all the standout features from the original X52 and elevates them to a higher altitude.

  • Progressive Spring Force on Throttle and Joystick
  • Interactive MFD Screen Displays Crucial In-Sim Info
  • PC Programming Software Creates Custom Profiles

Dual-Spring Centering Mechanism

A highly accurate centering mechanism ensures the joystick will easily return to the neutral position after you let go. Non-contact technology on the X and Y axes enhance control while increasing durability. And, the stick becomes more resistant as it moves farther away from the center position.

Advanced Grip Adjustment System

A five-position handle adjustment system conforms to your grip style and hand size. And to promote maximum comfort during long flights, the joystick’s handle also features contours which harmonize with your digits.

3D Twist with Rudder Lock

The joystick’s twist rudder controls add another dimension of command to simulated flight. If you prefer more traditional control, a rudder lock switch disables the twist capabilities and confines input to the X and Y axes – ideal for use with Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals (sold separately).

Progressive Throttle with Resistance Adjustment

The throttle unit’s progressive functionality improves aircraft response. Detents – physical markings indicating where a certain action takes places – simplify control of your plane’s idle and reverse thrusters. Yet another customizable feature found on the X52 Pro, a tension adjustment dial lets you change the throttle’s resistance to suit the way you fly.

Multifunction LCD Display

The X-52 Pro’s LCD screen – with adjustable backlighting – enables you to view information about your button configurations with only a quick glance. Even more beneficial is the ability to directly manipulate radio stack information in FSX, X-Plane, Prepar3D, and most flight simulation software. You can then use the buttons residing below the Multifunction Display (MFD) to cycle through essential radio stack functions. A downloadable Software Development Kit allows you to create your own MFD interactions.

Powerful Programming Software (PC Only)

After installing downloadable software, you are then free to create custom profiles for different flight sims. A trio of mode settings and a pinkie switch provide enhanced programming options for even more control in your favorite sim. And, all button programming is color coded. Assign a color to each button’s tri-state LED, and then make adjustments via controller settings within joy.cpl (Game Controllers).

Flight Simulation Software Compatibility

  • FSX - Flight Simulator X (PC only)
  • X-Plane 10 (PC and Mac)
  • Prepar3D 2.2 (PC only)
  • DCS World
  • IL-2 Sturmovik: Battle of Stalingrad
  • War Thunder
  • World of Warplanes
  • Star Citizen
  • Elite: Dangerous
  • Most Other Flight Simulation, Combat Simulation, and Space Simulation Software

Customers are mixed about the performance of the video game controller. Some mention that it works like a charm, works perfectly fine with FSX and DCS A-10C, and adds an entirely new element of immersion into the game.

"...Build Quality: The X52 Pro is overall a well built Hotas. The rubberized finish has a great hand feel and makes me feel like I’m an actual pilot...." Read more

"...On both the throttle and joystick the buttons feel solid and work crisply and the LEDs make it look really aggressive...." Read more

"...The sad part is that the build quality is very sloppy, and the Quality Control falls victim to what appears to be terminal apathy...." Read more

"...With the x52 I am in full control!2. Very Sturdy High Quality Construction.This feels like a real piece of equipment and not a toy...." Read more

94 customers mention60 positive34 negative

Customers are mixed about the buttons. Some mention that there are plenty of buttons, and the customization of the LEDs that light the Flight are very neat. They also say that the unit is feature filled with programmable buttons, informative LED screen, and responsiveness of both axis inputs. However, others say that some buttons don't do anything useful, the layout stinks, and there are not quite enough buttons.

"...The joystick on the throttle is very useful for vertical and horizontal thrusters.CONS:1...." Read more

"...(all the buttons stop working)..." Read more

"...Breakdown: Buttons, solid feel and good response...." Read more

"Initially, this looked like a good buy for the price. Plenty of buttons, an LCD, and fairly robust looking bases for each part of the set...." Read more

"...plug-ins, it can display a wide range of information and the its easily accessible and intuitive to use...." Read more

"...For the most part it's a nice setup...." Read more

Almost perfect
4 Stars
Almost perfect
Very nice product. It could be nicer if:1) The USB cable should be attached to the stick, not the throttle, so that it could be used separately.2) The stick handle could be more anatomic.3) They could have put some sort of lock for the reverse throttle. That detent is insufficient.4) The piece of software should be more user friendly.X52 Pro was used in the movie "GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra" to represent the 'Night Raven' and the 'Mantis' flight controls! Take a look at the pictures I uploaded. Cool ...UPDATE: X52 Pro was also used in the movie "Star Trek Into Darkness" to represent the 'shuttle pod' flight controls! Take a look at the other pictures I uploaded. Now that's a versatile controller ...
