I am stuck between the decision of two HOTAS sticks right now, this will be my first one I will ever own. I am currently using a XG900 joystick so the build quality of the X55 will be no problem because my joystick is all plastic and hasn't broke yet after about 2 years of use. I just need a HOTAS stick to play DCS games, I currently own A-10C and I am thinking about buying Black Shark 2.
I have read up on both sticks and the X55 apparently has some problems with the twist rudder becoming squeaky (some people say it goes away with in a month or two of use), and also the centring ring doesn't properly centre the joystick and some buttons stop working.
Everyone says it is worth the extra money for the X52 PRO, but people say that some of the buttons on the stick stop responding within 1 week - 2 months or the stick completely dies, but some people love their X52 PRO even after 6-10 years if use.
The Thrustmaster Warthog is out of my price range or else I would buy that, but if anyone has the X52 PRO or the X55 Rhino do you have any problems with your stick? and this really isn't much of a problem with the Rhino because of the changeable springs but how loose is the stick? (preferably the X52 PRO because it seems loose in videos)
