klem Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 X52Pro £250 ? Really, i can see it for £125. My mistake, that was a very expensive website I saw. Yes, generally around £125 which would make it really worth paying even £150 for one with Hall sensors. klem 56 RAF 'Firebirds' ASUS ROG Strix Z390-F mobo, i7 8086A @ 5.0 GHz with Corsair H115i watercooling, Gigabyte 2080Ti GAMING OC 11Gb GPU , 32Gb DDR4 RAM, 500Gb and 256Gb SSD SATA III 6Gb/s + 2TB , Pimax 8k Plus VR, TM Warthog Throttle, TM F18 Grip on Virpil WarBRD base, Windows 10 Home 64bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sokol1_br Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 And if you are going to pay $350/£300 (which is how X65 is priced) for a potentiometer HOTAS why not go the whole hog pay $380/£330 for one with Hall Sensors? My point is only that is not the use of HALL sensor that make HOTAS more or less expensive. Is the target market. A entry level T.1600M stick use HALL on X an Y offer more two axis (pots) 16 buttons + HAT and cost less that a CH Flightstick PRO that offer only 3 axis, 4 buttons + HAT, use pot's and 8 bits (256 points) controller and still being sold.

Buzzles Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Has anyone come across any more info for this new stick barring what's now on the website? I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for it, or just plumping for a X-52 Pro now while they're still available. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!

HiJack Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I’ve opted for info by registering for a prerelease but no info have been communicated. As always it’s a big gamble to buy these products on first release as they tend to not be finished developed. If your current stick is not working and need an immediate replacement I would go for X52 Pro. But make sure you buy the PRO :thumbup: version as the vanilla one is crap. If you currently have a working joystick then wait for the first 3-4 reviews of X55 before investing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

txmtb Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I still can't believe they made a new "modern" stick with a single stage trigger, it feels like they took a step backwards.

PFunk1606688187 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I still can't believe they made a new "modern" stick with a single stage trigger, it feels like they took a step backwards. You're telling me that they went to all the trouble of making a split axis throttle and obviously tried to somewhat copy the layout of the ubiquitous F-16 stick and decided to only use a single stage trigger? That alone makes me want to pass. Simmers are cranky, fussy, extremely picky old men (figuratively speaking) who live and die by an absurd number of details. To not put in a two-stage trigger is pretty hilarious. Oh my. There is no hope. I either stay with the X52 or I buy a TM Warthog.

I either stay with the X52 or I buy a TM Warthog. well you always have VKB mamba, if you really want to splurge on a stick. but the lack of 2 stage trigger is a really stupid thing, even though i dont fly the a-10, i still found it incredibly useful in other aircraft. does the x-65 have a 2stage trigger, because the design is just repurposed from that?

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I've just tried to pre-order. At the end of a process I am getting a following message: "We are unable to place this order because one or more items in your order is not available in sufficient quantity. Please go back and reduce your order." Am I already too late to pre-order? Or Mad Catz did not enter Rhinо in the pre-order system yet?

4c Hajduk Veljko Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 The pre-order e-mail I received says that preorder is available from Newegg and Amazon. However, X-55 is nowhere to be seen over there. I guess Saitek jumped the gun and is not ready for preorder yet.

GriffonBR Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well, now the throttle and the stick will have separated USB connections, I think that would be a smart move from Saitek/Mad Catz selling them separately. I have the CH Pro Throttle, it forms a good set with my new Thrustmaster Warthog (standalone edition) but I miss the rotarie from my CH Fighterstick that I used to set for prop pitch control.
