X52 HOTAS Throttle and Stick Simulation Controller
X52 delivers precise flight simulator operation, employing a multifunction LCD for easy access to an astounding minimum of 105 programmable commands. Coordinate your flight plan with clock and stopwatch function. Fly long comfortable stretches with adjustable handle to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes.
-
Illuminated Buttons & LCD Display
Illuminated critical buttons on stick and throttle let you know where to press when time is of the essence. Enhanced LCD display gives you information about your button configurations at-a-glance.
-
Spring Centering Mechanism
A highly accurate centering mechanism ensures the joystick easily returns to neutral position after you let go. Non-contact technology on the X and Y axes enhances control while increasing durability.

I love this unit. I am not a flight sim player I only play Elite dangerous. I went ahead and removed the throttle detente because I really dislike the strange resistance in throttle at the 90 and 10%. It was super easy to remove but I wouldn't attempt to do it before fully understanding that he warranty would be void.. What's funny is that the warranty is useless (I say that with joy) because there's no way I'll ever return this unit as it is just awesome.
The GOOD!: Very light. Like I said before I'm not a flight sim so I wouldn't know what to look for in a realistic flight stick experience. I am however not fond of too much resistance and this unit is nice and centered, it has a light bounce back and the entire movement feels smooth with no serious resistance. I feel it contributes to accuracy. fully compatible with elite dangerous, all of the buttons are programmable. Can be mounted to a custom rig. Mainly because the unit is so light weight; you can either purchase one or engineer your own and I promise that this unit's weight isn't going to be a factor or cause an unforeseen element when mounted.
the SO SO: The unit come with suction cups for fastening it to your desk surface. I have a wooden desk and I consider it moderately porous. despite that I feel the suction cups hold for a long while. you eventually have to push down to fasten it again and If you continue to use the suction method then you'll need to get use to it.
The software drivers. I installed the drivers that came with the unit (CD rom) and then later went to the saitek website and downloaded the update. Once you install the drivers and profile manager your pinky trigger will stop working. DONT WORRY all you have to do is go into the profile manager. Some recommend that you delete all of the profiles, add a new one then find the pinky trigger field and set it to not-programmed. Whether deleting all profiles is necessary or not will have to be up to you. I did it and never suffered from it. Overall; NO regrets. I love this for elite dangerous and I'm inspired to try other flight games just to use this unit more often. I really love it.
*****
Original review: I don,t know where else to leave this complaint but when i purchased this unit it was listed as the X52 Pro. Even the picture they're using still shows the X52 Pro. I received an X52 and now they seemed to have corrected the issue so -even though the picture still shows the X52 Pro- they've conveniently removed the "Pro" from the item listing.. with this new development a return would only result in an exchange for the X52 again. I honestly thought I was purchasing the x52 Pro at a reduced price but infact I was just purchasing the x52 that by the way I thought to be not worth the price. I'm now stuck with the X52. bummer. I never wanted the x52.
First off, Gees these things are expensive. It's been years since I bought a flight controller for a game but I don't remember them being this expensive. So this thing had some pretty big expectation. So first off I was a little disappointed when the box arrived and saw all that the shipper did was put a label on the flight controller box. Given that the box was then left on my front door step for half a day letting anyone walking by that it was a ~$300 flight controller sitting there. Fortunately the porch pirates where busy in another sector so my package was sitting there when I got home.
Setup was a little painful but not for the reason you may expect. The USB cable on this does not come off the flight stick but off the throttle control. Unfortunately for my setup my computer is on the right side of my desk and this puts the USB cable on the left side. Generally this isn't a problem because modern devices usually have fairly long cables. This thing does not. If my computer was on the left side of the desk it wouldn't have been a problem but since it's not it meant it's cable was about two feet too short. I lucked up in that my monitor has two utility USB ports on it's back so instead of running to the computer I just had to run to the monitor, got lucky there. The take away here. This thing has a short USB and is on the left side so keep that in mind when purchasing for you build.
Following another reviewers recommendation I did not install the drivers for this device and I wasn't prompted either so that was a win. When I did fire up Elite Dangerous I did expect that the game would work immediately with no issues, that didn't happen. The condoler was dead in the water. Head over to the controls panel to start the tedious process of mapping every command onto the controller when I notice something. In the pull down for the different configurations (was going to see if I could make a custom one) I noticed one called Saitek X52. The game actually came with a preloaded setup for this controller. Welp, that was easy.
Overall impression of this thing is a bit overwhelming for someone that doesn't use flight controllers much. Some of the buttons seem a little unintuitive and I'm still looking at just about every button I'm pushing to know what I am doing but I've only had it a day so yea. Build wise, this thing is beefy. The stick didn't seem to move any being on my mouse pad but the throttle did seem to move over time and need to be repositioned. I did try the suction cups on the throttle but all the did was prevent sudden moves not a gradual over time which is not unexpected. It's not annoying enough to down rate for but something that does need mentioned. The LCD display on the throttle is not lit by default (might not actually be lit) so it's next to impossible to see what is going on with it beyond the fact that it's also at a weird angle when sitting on a desktop.
Beyond that there isn't much to say at this point. This controller didn't make be a better in-game pilot (lost a couple ships prove that point wrong) but honestly wasn't expecting it too. We'll see how it goes and if need an update as required.
Only issues I have although minor.
The USB cable it a little too short (extender fixes that)
The throttle has detents. While listed as a selling point they are more annoying then usefull. They dont really hinder you once you get used used to them and they are easily removed (permanent) but it will void the warranty.
While the drivers are easy to install and work flawlessly, the programing software is consusing and from as far as I can tell useless. This means the mode dial and clutch button do nothing if you dont have remapped configurations programmed. They can not be used as control buttons or mapped in game either.
The mouse control buttons on the throttle either have to be used to control the mouse or not at all. They can not be mapped in game for another use. The 3 mode and setting buttons on the base of the throttle however can be.
Thats about it. Other then wishing I could map the "function" buttons I am not using in game and the fact I needed to extend the USB cable, I have no complaints with the detents removed.
