Me being resolved to abandon my old controllers Thrustmaster F16, I opted for the X52 Pro is a more reasonable price. I was very pleasantly surprised. First, it has more features than the Thrustmaster, some of which I found really useful (eg, programmable mouse wheel, ideal for trim). The programming software is rather easy to use once you understand that you should not install the supplied CDs but download the latest version on the site Saitek. I especially liked the adjustable height of the joystick. In fact it is a detail that is representative of the quality of product design, as well as the holes in the bases that will eventually allow to screw the handles if desired. Even the LEDs that have the gadget air outside but they are helpful enough when we realized that we could change the colors. So, have neighboring keys of different colors enhances ergonomics.
Well, it is regrettable that the multifunction screen is much more difficult to program (I myself do not yet). Also, the joystick is a little too soft for my taste (but on the other hand, it improves stability).
