Gols AwardThe most obvious, eye catching and astounding feature of the
throttle component is the two inch square LCD panel in the bottom right
corner of the base, following with the blue LED theme the panel lights
up in a delicious cold blue almost begging you to turn out the lights
and stand in awe of the X-52 (having previously applied duck tape to avoid
bending down and picking up ones jaw). The panel displays the current
mode that the X-52 is in as well as the time, date and the current profile
you are using. A clutch button is included on the throttle, which allows
you to switch profile on the fly and also view the function of any button
you press.

...a virtual trip to the danger zone is now only a push of a button away
with Saiteks X52 Flight Control System for PC gaming. The 360-degree joystick,
with it's two-stage metal trigger, four fire buttons, pinkie swtich, and
3-D rudder twist, let you show your stuff above the hard deck.

The X52 joystick system is as good as everyone claims it to be. The big
thing with me is that I have not heard much about the things it cannot
do. So, those of you thinking about buying this joystick system, go ahead.
It has a really great feel when using it, but keep in mind this system
may not be usable on all games, especially older games. The great thing
is that you will be part of a community of gamers that are willing to
help each other out. After doing my third Saitek review, I can only see
great things from this company. Try this joystick system and decide for
yourself. I think you will like it a lot."

Bristling with functionality, both the joystick and throttle units are
covered in sliders, wheels, POV hats and buttons, all placed with the
delicate care for comfort and customisation that PC gamers have come to
depend on from Saitek products. What results is a supremely capable control
system that can be moulded to the user's own preferences like no other
device on the market, offering support for all PC flight simulation titles
thanks to its superb programming utilities.

What will ultimately convince you that this is the future is when you
lay your hands on the two controls and see how snugly they fit your hands
and how smoothly they operate in-game. At such a reasonable price, it's
hard to see how much they could be bettered.

A flight control system for those who want to immerse themselves into
a flight simulator, the X52 offers many functions that some joysticks
can only dream of .
