I will give my opinion.
the X65F, i tested in a localshop, was really hard to flight at first 5 minutes! i tested in FSX Acceleration... Very well constructed, but for me no way to use, the stick almost dont move.
I got the x52pro and warthog, both do the same thing.
Firstly, i bought the X52pro for A10-C. I make the macros and no problem.
Yes, i wished the warthog and bought! its plug and play in A-10C! I love the hawg!
imo, the X52pro is a good entry btw. and can be most flexible in others sims!
