Ratski Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 My old joystick is playing up so I'm thinking of replacing it with the X52 Pro. I've never actually seen one and was wondering if someone could give me the dimensions of the stick and throttle bases. The reason I'm asking is space is a little tight and I have to use a pull out keyboard shelf. I'm not sure it will fit. Also the measurement from the rear of the base to the front of the hand guard when in the fully forward position would be useful. indecently can the hand guard be removed? If it could it may give me a little more room. Many thanks
tdar Posted February 28, 2011 Posted February 28, 2011 both the stick and the throttle bases are about 17cm x 17cm. If you extend the throttle to 100%, the forward most part of the throttle extends 6cm over the forward edge of the throttle base, making the new dimension 23cmx17cm. Throttle at 0% fits inside the 17cm x 17cm square made by the base. Hope that helps! edit: data is for X52 standard, but im sure the X52 pro is exactly the same in terms of dimensions.

Thanks for the reply, looks like it's not going to fit so I'll have to think a way round this. Thanks again.

Just a thought but a squad mate of mine had the same problem but he just built on an arm sort of pad that clamped to the table and because both x52 and x52pro have drill holes in the bases for securing them he did so on this pad. Simple job good utility and got the unit he wanted that way. WheelChair
