The best thing Ive ever used, a great item for everyone!

Personally, for my taste - an excellent joy. I say this because I personally used and use such branded things as Thrustmaster HOTAS Cougar, and Logitech's New Flight System G940. Each of these joes has something better than the others, but the X-52 definitely wins because of the price!
Conclusion: Currently, I use the RUS and pedals from Logitech's G940, and the throttle from Saiteck X-52. If suddenly I have to buy Joy for myself in the near future - it will definitely be Sayteck X-52 or X-52PRO. 11/06/2022

Pros

The comfortable, adjustable RUS handle, as well as the throttle, is covered with pleasant plastic. On the same Cougar, after 2-3 months of active use, on the RUS and RUD, the paint and coating began to "corrode" in places where the hands were tightly attached (due to sweat). It fully meets the needs - a set of buttons and Hatok, as well as the quality of Hatok - for 6 years everyone is alive. A special plus deserves the presence of a microjoystick on the throttle - a very convenient thing to use for inspection (on the sides). I tried to use both NewView and TrackIR for inspection - all this is pampering. An even and adequate turn of the head in the game, except for the mouse, you will not get anything, and microjoy is just that.

Cons

The main disease of the X-52, and even the X-52PRO is non-linearity, this is when in the settings you move the joystick exactly in a circle, and instead of a circle you see a kind of sublimation of a rhombus and a square. But this problem is also easily treated - it is worth pulling out the magnets and re-gluing them where necessary - everything becomes just super (there is a lot of information on the Internet on the ILushnikov forums). It is also worth noting another weak point - this is the cable connecting the RUS and the RUD to each other. To be honest, it's a mystery to me - why they made it removable. During the game, due to the lack of a "dead" attachment of this cable to the body of the joystick, the contacts are broken, which causes the joystick to decalibrate. Unfortunately - it is treated exclusively by soldering contacts (cable to joy). Well, and another small defect - my buttons on the ORE have died, those (3 pieces) that are responsible for setting the time, etc. I think this is due to the rare use of these buttons :)
