SuperKungFu Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Searched a couple threads but no one seems to have a solid answer, has any former X-52 users upgraded to the pro version and do you notice a tension difference or precision? Does the stick still wiggle if you move it with one finger? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 Duel-Spring tension of the X52 PRO IMHO a 100% improvement. Went from a Cyborg Evo to the X52 and was disappointed at the "limp" performance of the FlightStick. Then moved on to the X52 PRO and I'm VERY impressed. Notwithstanding the professional finish and attention to detail, the prescision is phenomenal and together with the dual-spring tension it's a sheer pleasure.

SuperKungFu Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 hmm too bad saitek can't sell just the duel spring thing so i can mod my current X-52 lol. Because i can't really justify spening another $180 for the pro version, i would probably need to actually feel one before i make my purchase. Do you know anywhere that's on display like Best Buy or Fry's...etc? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
159th_Viper Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 No idea where you can "test-drive" one - saying that, reputable dealers should have display stock that customers can have a look at.

Black_Hawk Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 It'd be great if Saitek let us change our X52 for a Pro with a small extra payment. I got my X52 5 months before Pro got out, so I'm kinda sorry for not waiting. Nah, I couldn't live without my X52 :D 159th GAR LockOnFiles CAW Team
emenance Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 best buy used to or i think still does carry the x52 so it should be there someday.

geoffp Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 just upgraded from X52 to X52 Pro & Pro Pedals. DEFINITE improvement on stick "tightness" really am enjoying it.
geoffp Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 custom hacks have been done to try and strengthen the centering aspect. googling is the answer:megalol:
OldFrankHog Posted March 11, 2007 Posted March 11, 2007 Try Saitek ? Maybe they sell spare parts..tell em the spring melted from friction of evading all those R77's :joystick: :megalol: Join us today!!!
Rhino104 Posted March 13, 2007 Posted March 13, 2007 I have to agree with the posted above. You definitely can feel the added tension that the 2nd spring gives. It made it 10X better and more realistic as well, and my arm is starting to look like "Popeye's"
