saitek pro flight x52 elite dangerous hotas or dual sticks

It is a gamble buying one in terms of QC, so if you decide to buy one, be prepared to test it thoroughly and return it, in the worst case scenario. If money is tight but your operational demands are fixed it's very hard to beat an X52 in price per command input. There must be a large number of them out there which functioned fine, or at least well enough not to provoke people to register for forums like reddit or simhq and complain about it.

Overall we have to assume the odds are pretty good because people only come online to complain and argue. I know people whose stick didn't work out of the box as recently as two years ago. Mine, a silver/blue saitek unit from way, way back in the day, still functions (albeit not well on modern computers because of driver problems). It has more buttons in considerably more user friendly places than its price competitor, the Thrustmaster T16000m set.īuying one is a lottery. It is not a high quality stick or throttle, but it is a full featured HOTAS for less. It's ~$150 of plastic engineered more than twenty years ago and given a little love a few years back when Logitech bought Saitek (though the Pro version is often marked up simply for having a dark casing). People have mixed opinions because it's a mixed blessing. There aren't going to be any new or different opinions here.
