I had it and it was ok until it broke (but I had bought it used so it might not be a faulty product). In later reviews the X56 won over the X52 but it nevertheless is a solid throttle and stick to begin with if you can get one.

Most would go for the VKB Gladiator NXT now.

I have a Logitech G pro for over a year now after I had to replace my 15yr saitek x52, First you have to understand the x52! It was designed around the ideal that as many functions as possible could be used with one flightstick and throttle. If you want to you can use the software that allows the mode dial to add even more buttons (as the idiot in the posted video had no ideal what it was for). I have used it in DCS, FSX, FS20, IL@ and a few other older sims. Its very versitile! As far as any good, that kinda depends on who uses it to be honest. Its the best IMHO if you use the software (many,many buttons). I have had NO ISSUES with it in FS20! Hope it helps.

Yeah i opted for it but got the pro version , not sure how i programme buttons under the different modes though yet i have it pretty much as it is when you plug it in just added a couple of things to unused buttons so far. Do i just change modes and assign functions?
