Saitek X52 Flight Control System 5

Is the Saitek X52 Flight Control System worth $100.



Quite simply YES. Just in terms of immersion the Saitek x52 flight control system is worth the money. If you're using a single control stick for your flight simming, get have to get one of these. And while you're at it get the Beta programing software from the Saitek website.

PROS

Good price for a HOTAS.
Value for money.
Lot's of customization through programming.
Adjustable throttle tension.
Adjustable handrest.
Looks purdy.

CONS

Light and maybe too loose for some.
You really do need to download the Beta software to get the most out of the stick.
Unstable on the desk.

I defy anyone who gets this stick not to turn the lights off and see what it looks like in the dark!
