Where are you checking the prices dude. Its not that expensive. Brand new saitek x52 is for USD 150. And yes its a very nice, durable and accurate controller.

gabgio Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 And yes its a very nice, durable and accurate controller. I confirm . Mine is 9 years old, still working fine (except for the damn slider, it has always been a bit problematic) Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag80 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I confirm . Mine is 9 years old, still working fine (except for the damn slider, it has always been a bit problematic) U mean the little slider on the throttle? After almost a decade of use it must be needing little cleaning. Mine is more than 10 years old. Almost everything working fine. It is pre madcatz so the quality was good at that time. Not sure about today's quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It always has, also when brand new Nunc est bibendum, nunc pede libero pulsanda tellus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drag80 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Yes, that one. It works, but keeps 'wobbling'. It always has, also when brand new Yes same here. Nothing to worry. I havent found a use for that slider till now. everything else works well. The centering and rudder control is very nice. Any specific change between the x52 and x52 pro other than an additional spring. I have heard the pro has more Hall sensors but logitech has not advertised this thing anywhere. I mean if a company adds a feature they advertise it like crazy. but no mention of double hall sensors any where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
