Yammo's Review of Saitek X52 Joystick

Overall Rating

5 stars
  • Value for money
    5 stars
  • Time Controller Owned

Good Points

Over all very good sensors.
"Sloppy" feel. (Which is something I like)
All the blue lights just makes it feel Cool.


Bad Points

Some sensors can sometimes flutter one or two percent.
At first glance somewhat steeply priced.
"Sloppy" feel. (Which is something some people dislike).


General Comments

I have had my x52 for about 6 months now playing Sturmovik and Freelancer 2... I have close to nothing bad to say about the stick. The only bad thing I can come up with is that I have yet to find some way of changing the logarithmic sensitivity. (ie center motions are low sensitivity, but as you reach full yaw/pitch/roll the sensitivity increases.)

This, combined with games that has an inherited logarithmic control makes for a very uncontrollable experience. Since one can change the settings for this in sturmovik to a linear approach, the x52 is a dream to use in sturmovik.

I will probably buy it again if it ever breaks. (Which is not very likely since it uses electro-magnetic sensors in it's "no-contact".)
