Saitek X52

Best device ever which is end of life – Love this x52, indeed all saitek flight simulation gears are top notch! they've released the X55 now, but very hard to get stock. I have spoken with the saitek australia people, they are bringing more X55 to replace X52 shortly. Again being down under, I just think it's better to buy whenever you can get the stock asap. Professional design End of life product

An alternative joystick flight system as opposed to the common mainstream – I too bought this a few years back, it was reasonably priced, good quality build and reliable. It also had illuminating features when I needed to play simulations when lighting was switched off. I wanted something that allowed me to immerse myself into more serious game play though it was mostly on a PC and not attached to a video console. It is compatible with a number of different platforms as well as many flight simulation programs which is just dandy.

I would have given this product 5 stars, however there was no Force Feedback capability. Everything (easy to install, long cables, lights up in low light, lots of programmable buttons) Rubber Suction bits and come off if not too careful; no force feedback

5 Years old and still going strong - Excellent Product – I am an incurable flight simmer and decided to splash out in 2006 with a top-of-the-range flight control system. The X52 fits the bill! Software is easy to install and you can individually programme all the buttons on it. It's not showing any signs of deterioration after 5 years of hard use and it had been stored in baggage for travel several times without a problem. Probably the best flight control system on the market It's expensive!
