X52 Brief Review

[Nick]

Lazy goit...

Nice piccies, nice write up too.

I'll be switching to one when my X45 breaks.... if it ever breaks...

Nice. No DZ at all ? (That's contrary to what Richard said tho..) Dang, looks like I've to RMA the stick And no, I'm not connected to Logitech in any way (except maybe by breaking their sticks )

Ties in pretty much with what my friend in the US reported - very, very light stick forces & DZ not appreciably different from his Cougar etc.

Has 1 interesting thought - now that you can switch profiles in mid-game using the "clutch" button you could actually have AG, AA & Nav profiles now instead of using the 3 modes in 1 profile.

Cheapest X52? £75

For those who want an x45 and not move to x52, I've just noticed in the 3 different PCWorld stores I have been to, they all had x45's in stock.

LOL Grendel, sorry that wasnt meant as the slur that it sounded like

OMG - £75 Stoo. £16 more than the X45!!! and £15 less than I paid! No contest then.

Just got off the blower to me old man, he warns me not to buy one of these, I'll find out why on the 25th

lol....anyone want a trip to Suffolk, they can find out for themselves

I have been using it a while and have been reluctant to give my true thoughts which are that it is considerably better than the X45. It is so marked that I have been thinking I must have had a duff X45. When you are really happy with something you tend not to look around to see whether other ppl are happy. The only thing that I noticed may disuade some users is the very light handling of the Joystick.

Now if you are thinking of buying CH Pro Pedals, then I would say DONT!. Lasted 7 months and need to be replaced .

LOL - I think I have been unlucky!!!

Been trawling the forums for X52 stuff and looking at recommendations and it seems like the kit of choice is CH.
