A professional product

For countless years I fly flight simulators on the PC and have already used many a joystick.
This time I was ready to take the X52 Saitek into my possession and I regret this step by no means.
The first main focus falls safely to the design.
Certainly this is getting used to but still very modern and "stylish".
The X52 takes one in the flight simulation and air combat from a lot of work.
On numerous function keys you can put a lot of important program functions of the Games.
The included software program, the configuration options expand enormously by being able to create games profiles.
A Shift function, the function keys and double quasi by a selector switch can be in the game (!) Change the profile which the functions which tripled in the X52 again.
In addition to the keys has the X52 two (!) 8-way Cooliehats, a twist or rudder, 2 two more analog knob, an analog sliders, one provided with a protective flap launch button, a mouse cursor control included mouse button and scroll wheel and multifunction display.
Blue, adjustable brightness LED's being in the dark the way - the MFD displays the key function and has clock and stopwatch ready.
May have noticed already that the X52 a separate thrust control unit brings the highly precise running.
Noticeably are idle point and Nachbrennerpunkt.
What needs to be noted is the unique phenomenon that the X and Y axes of the joystick are contactless, which means they are 1 and 2. Low-wear are smooth!
This technique is usually not found in standard joystick but what then 3rd the price fully justified.
Location I thought the X52 would be expensive for a simple joystick, but now I think quite differently.
The professional equipment, the use and the numerous features are available for this HOTAS system.
In the Control Panel Dead Zones can be set for all axes.
I am very satisfied with the X52 and problems about the speculation in forums, I can not confirm.
Therefore, full 5 stars for this product
