Description

The Saitek X52 PC Flight Control System is aimed at space and flight pilots that imitate reality as closely as possible. With the Saitek Smart Technology (SST) software, you compile a profile full of preset buttons for each game. Handy when you have a large collection of simulation games and often have to change control. You can create your own profile for each device and request it at any time. The Saitek X52 has an abundance of aluminum, wear-resistant buttons that come in handy in every flight simgame. How about a hat switch, rotary controls, trim, pitch and yaw, two fire buttons and a mini joystick that also serves as a mouse. One unit even has an illuminated Multi Function Display that regularly shows game data.

Great HOTAS

  • Fully programmable
  • Stylish and convenient
  • Great flying experience
  • Outdated software on CD

I wanted a HOTAS for Elite:Dangerous and Star Citizen, because mouse & keyboard alone didn't give me the accuracy. Ever since I've been playing Elite with this HOTAS I've been flying like I'm actually in a spaceship. Every button on the HOTAS is very easy to reach and use, so you don't have to make any finger-breaking movements to use a button.

The software allows you to set everything according to your own choices. Each button is fully programmable, even with different profiles so you can use the optimal settings for each game. You can even adjust the display and have the LEDs dim or even turn off (contrary to what the other review claimed).

The cables (both the USB cable for connecting to your PC and the cable between the two parts) are long enough to be able to use the HOTAS very comfortably. The suction cups ensure that your HOTAS also remains very stable, although they can come loose in the beginning.

Small downside was that the software on the supplied CD was outdated. But you can pick it up from their website.

All in all, a great HOTAS and I am extremely happy with the purchase of this product.

What a stick! When it arrived I was shocked by the low weight of the box, but that turned out to be completely unjustified.

The stick is very sturdy and feels very good, at first a bit overwhelming due to its large amount of options and buttons, but once you start "playing" with it you understand that this is not really a toy.

Great HOTAS

  • Very good value for money
  • Everything separately adjustable if you want
  • Lasts a long time
  • Outdated software on the CD; download the drivers yourself!

I bought Saitek X52 throttle and joystick for Elite: Dangerous. It's a beautiful model that does everything you need. Enough buttons available, and enough resistance on the throttle. The blue lights give a nice extra effect. You can set each button separately as you want. You can even set the sliders to use as buttons. Only the supplied software I would not use because it is somewhat outdated. It is therefore best to download the latest drivers directly from the Saitek website.

I would advise people who are in doubt between this and the Pro version to take this one. The Pro is exactly the same, but just has a black "cool" color and a little more resistance on the throttle. So unless you really want to spend the extra money to necessarily have the Pro, definitely get this one.

I know someone who has been using this model almost daily for three years and not a single button is broken and everything is going perfectly. For Elite: Dangerous, this aircraft has a lot of added value, a real pleasure to fly. Fun fact: the throttle and joystick your pilot uses in Elite: Dangerous is based on this model!
