Devrim Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Hi. I'm new X-55 user after four-year X-52 usage. :P I sold my X-52Pro to a friend of mine and got the Rhino. Pros: I like the toggle switches. They're gathered on throttle base. That's nice because I hated X-52's buttons (on its MFD) and toggle switches on stick base. I like additional two 8-way hats on throttle. Very very very very useful. Same, I like extra 1 hat on stick. Rotaries on throttle are easy turning, no resistance like X-52. I like the movement feeling of stick. It's different from X-52, but need to get used to it. Cons: Heavy throttle. Even if adjustment is at lightest side. All buttons need really more pressure to press! It's like they were made for heavy-duty! X-52's buttons were very soft. As they say stick has placement issues comparing to X-52. I'm not talking about distance between some hats. The head of stick should have been placed in forward position a little bit. You need to take your thumb back too much to touch any hat. I realized that two-stage trigger was really important thing! Mouse stick feeling is same as X-52Pro but stick has no sensitivity. Stick goes to at the end (no matter it's X or Y), but requires more pressure to send command to PC. I don't know maybe mine one has problem. Overall, I really need to get used to it after X-52Pro. Last week I was very eager to buy X-55, but now, if they ask me that if I want X-55 again, I think I would hesitate to sold my beauty X-52Pro. Actually I'm aware of that I need a little time. My fingers try to re-learn positions of hats and buttons. Maybe that's normal... :) Intel i7-14700@5.6GHz | MSI RTX4080 SuperSuprimX | Corsair V. 64GB@6400MHz. | Samsung 1TB 990 PRO SSD (Win10Homex64) Samsung G5 32" + Samsung 18" + 2x8"TFT Displays | TM Warthog Stick w/AVA Base | VPC MongoosT-50CM3 Throttle | TM MFD Cougars | Logitech G13, G230, G510, PZ55 & Farming Sim Panel | TIR5 & M.Quest3 VR >>MY MODS<< | Discord: Devrim#1068
nd1312 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Would you have had the same issues with the stick between your legs like it's designed to be and some velcro on the bottom of the throttle? Its worth a try. I think the top hats would still be a stretch (depending on your hand size) :) someone else plagiarised ralfidude's review and made it their own :megalol: Makes one wonder why you would spend money on this stick when you declared you bought a warthog? :music_whistling: I saw his review of course but i think it's a bit nitpicky in some points. I had no problem with the mode button for example. And the mini sticks you'd get used to as well i thnk. Well, I liked the concept of the x55 as its not specific to one plane like the warthog. And it was cheaper of course.
Zimmerdylan Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Would you have had the same issues with the stick between your legs like it's designed to be and some velcro on the bottom of the throttle? I do this exclusively. I always have. That whole setting your stick on the desk top was never an option for me. And it's just as hard with the stick down between your legs. You almost have to bend your thumb out of joint to reach the top, top hat switch. It is kind of a pain in the a$$. It is a good stick if you don't mind the terrible software, and it's bugs with DCS. I never could understand how the Mad Catz software really worked.
