I hope it works for a long time. Purely practically, in shooters it (the device) is not needed. A keyboard and mouse or gamepad is enough. Whoever likes it. But in simulators, it will create an indescribable feeling of the reality of controlling an aircraft or spaceship. Different pros: Liked everything. There are a lot of buttons and joysticks, enough for all occasions. Airplane flight is a complete reality. Of course, with pedals it would be better, but their price is sky-high. Given that…

DO NOT BUY A LOGITECH X52 OR HATCH. It surprises me that they have absolutely no quality control on these items. The clamp has a dead zone and sticks so you have to open it to fix the problems. After that it's still not good. X52? What good can I say about him? That's OK. X52 sticks very badly. So bad it's a worthless $170 POS. I'm relatively new to the simulation world and maybe a bit uneducated in the field. However, I am sure that the controls for real pilots are not that bad. How can a…

After reading many negative reviews about Logitech's joysticks and HOTAS setups, I decided to just go ahead and give the entry-level X52 a try. I'm very glad I did! It's a great starter space sim kit (Elite Dangerous is all I use it for at the moment), with just the right amount of buttons and switches in all the logical places, and very good ergonomics in every way. Build quality is decent, it's almost all plastic, but the grips are rubberized and very stubborn. The bases are a little light…

I use this joystick for elite threats and it's safe to say it's a great mid-range choice for space sims. This stick has a two-stage trigger. I personally don't use the second stage and just leave the first stage tied to the main fire. Pros: - Protective cover of the secondary fire button. - Backlit buttons and display for visibility when gaming in the dark. many control buttons. - Rudder lock for pitch and roll only (useful for players with rudder pedals) - The display can show the time, which…

Worked fine for the first 2 hours without Logitech software. This flash drive comes without instructions. Just a piece of paper with their website for their guide and software. All I needed from the mapping software was to map a button to my press to talk to Discord. And this is where this joystick got caught in the troubleshooting loop. 1: The latest version of Logitech software is 32-bit! Your 64-bit version isn't even an option. I had to search the web and forums to finally find someone who…

Between COVID and MS Flight Simulator, HOTAS prices are off the charts. However, my T16000 has a broken pivot and I would rather go for a combo with more switches than disabling yaw on the joystick and buying pedals. The X56 costs over $400, so the X52 looked like a decent compromise. As the day progressed on Elite: Dangerous maps, I grew more and more frustrated, although I had a strong desire to ignore the bugs and just settle for what I could afford. Finished. Yes, the throttle squeaks a bit
