Works great, materials are nice and feels sturdy, great for flying in Elite Dangerous!

This X52 Pro, Hands-On Throttle and Stick is nice looking with many buttons, dials and keys. The grip/s surfaces held during use are matted and nonslip, just enough chrome to jazz it all up while keeping a black theme. The lighting is amazing with each major button/trigger having three colours to pick from with adjustable lighting intensity. The options for dead zones and other adjustments are all covered in the Windows controllers tab, very easy setup this way. But the Logitech software allows complete programming and multiple key macros in 3 setups for the 3 modes, allowing for a lot of keys at the touch of a button and turn of a dial. Although I have found using only one setup works for everything, but the hard core flight simmers are loving this J/S. The components are of very high quality and the sensors are magnetic so there is no grinding of plastic/metal parts, making for a long product life. [The only CON: I don't like the constant movement of the two trim wheels and had to make a dead zone to stop them altering the aircraft in flight by themselves, and they still make the trim wheels in the cockpit move erratically until a sweet spot is found. This has/is being discussed at length on many websites including anything related to Logitech yet they still will not address the issue which is Firmware related!] But this trim wheel ‘issue’ is still not a good reason to not try this HOTAS as I am enjoying the product and feel that it was money well spent. IMO much better than the X56.

I know I am guilty of it. You think, "well for games with flying scenarios in them, all I need is my mouse or maybe a cheap joystick", right Yeah, that's what I thought too, until I got my hands on the Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System. Like the popular

I HAD THE X52 FCS BEFORE I BOUGHT THE X52 PRO AND DID NOT RECEIVE ANY DOCUMENTATION.

Pro's; Lot's of features Lots of buttons Cons; Feels cheap. Joystick and throttle have ghosting issues.

Excellent product, expensive but have found it worth it.

PSA AT BOTTOM OF REVIEW, PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE ISSUES WITH CONTROLLER FUNCTIONING This is a great controller however there are some issues which is a majority of the reason for me writing the review.

I would give it 5 stars except that it has one button that never worked (or more precise, rarely works). Otherwise, sturdy and good quality for the price. I have been using it for years.

Very very nice it is ultimate and very good quality product

This joystick is recognised specifically in elite dangerous, and works perfectly; Enough controls to do everything, with enough flexibility to tweak it to your own preferences

Feels a little plasticky for a product costing this much; Also, cables are a little short
