@mylongtermreview Good review, I have been trying to find the difference between the x52 and x52 pro.

The one thing I haven't been able to find are a reviewers opinion on the different colors the LEDs can have. Are you able to mix colors and do you think the lighting is vivid enough without overwhelming in the dark.

@packfan678

Whoa, I forgot about the lights. Yes, all the buttons and switches have have LED lighting that can be controlled individuality using the software that comes with it. You can set it to red, green, or off.

Thanks

@mylongtermreview Hi, I'm thinking about buying this weekend for Black Shark 2 and and Warthog. How is this controling holding up for you? You think it's worth the money? And, is the tophat a ministick or a 4-8 POV position switch?

Thanks

i just did not like the loosness, i did a dumbass thing and took the stick apart and tried to stretch the spring a little and i broke my stick:-*( but that is ok i am awaiting my ch stick and rudder pedals. but if you know someone who would repair my stick for me i would appriciate it..

Thanks for the review, but i can't agree with the looseness aspect being a long term advantage. Nomatter how long you get used to it, a adaptedly resistant joystick will always permit you being more precise in your input, although less confortable

Also dead zone has to be higher on such lose stick.

long/short course, constancy of spring force too.

What about resolution/accuracy?

I'm quite desappointed no "pro" joystick matches the accuracy of the cheap and unconfortable T16000. Am i wrong?

[2002drumsonly]

Very accurate and true. The PS2 connector minus one star but not a deal breaker. I would recommend it. Use mine for helicopter flying and that is very demanding for accuracy.

Thanks for the info about the bad connection :) I will buy an other system...
