Product Description
Made of precision-engineered, top quality materials, the X52 includes a mass of features to create the most realistic flying experience.The Throttle includes Multi-Function display (MFD) indicating profile selection, Mode, control Shift state, as well as time; flight time, standard time, destination time, and set up moves; the progressive throttle lever includes tension adjustment, detents for afterburner and idle; and the unit houses two fire buttons, scroll wheel with built-in button, mouse controller/hat switch with left mouse button, eight-way hat switch, and two rotary controls. There is also a clutch button which initiates 'safe mode' to allow on-the-fly profile selection, or to display button functionality without activating.The Joystick is built around non-contact technology on X and Y axes and constant spring force to reduce free play, improve control and increase durability. The unit features a 2-stage metal trigger, four fire buttons - including missile launcher with spring-loaded safety cover for instant access - and a conveniently positioned metal pinkie switch provides shift functionality to double up on programmable commands. There are two 8-way hat switches - one predefined as 'point of view' - 3D rudder twist and a three-position rotary mode selector switch with LED indicators. The base also includes three spring-loaded, base-mounted toggle switches for up to 6 programmable flight commands and a 5-position handle adjustment system to suit all hand sizes.Both stick and throttle have rubber grips and ergonomic design for increased comfort and fatigue-free gaming and part metal construction for increased durability and authenticity.

 semi-happy November 18, 2009
Bob Crouch (Tecumseh,Ok)
The controllers are very well made and have an abundance of buttons(that I'm still trying to figure out), but the downside was the fact that the software
was outdated for my computer. I have Vista 64 bit and the software was made for XP or earlier.

Sean Coogan (seattle, WA USA)
I bought this because it's the archetypal flight sim controller set, and it is a solid piece of hardware. The only problem on the hardware end is that the suction cups are a little weak which doesn't really matter. My main problem is with the software for assigning macros. If you have vista, the manual is worthless. I've had it for about three weeks and I still can't apply the macros. Other than that, I'm satisfied.
great joystick August 30, 2009
E. Caserta (OH USA)
What I can say, the package arrived after two,repeat, two days, worked immediately as aspected, no problem whatsoever till now despite the intensive use in dog fighting in windows XP and also, more important, in Windows 7 beta version.
Again, great service and great joystick!!!!
Great controller August 16, 2009
N. Abbate (USA)
Thanks to this Saitek X52 flight controller I have been able to kill THOUSANDS of virtual enemies with fun unparalleled by any other flight stick. Whether I'm flying an Apache strafing a small village causing untold collateral damage to homes and livestock, or if I'm flying a Harrier Jump Jet recklessly over a battlefield and kamikaziing enemy armor emplacements, this controller translates every bit of my lack of flying skills with incredible precision. It really lets my teammates know that when I'm in the air you'd better look out. I highly recommend it.

R. Peral
Excellent feel, more buttons than I know what to do with.
Best of all was the included software that lets you program just about every facet, to match any key strokes needed to play...anything.
