Has anyone actually used both of the joysticks and have a good comparison?
CH Fighterstick vs. X52

I have not used both, but I can tell you that CH make professional, real world joysticks and that tech is built into their gaming products. They may not be flashy on the outside, but they're all metal and highest grade kit on the inside.
They feel amazing and last forever. Hopefully someone who has tried both will turn up to help you more, but you'll never go wrong with a CH.
Good luck!

This video sold me on the CH joystick, he noted observations that I had seen in a friend of mine's Saitek x52. I have a CH Combatstick, no throttle. I absolutely love it!

Mine didn't: They "died" when I got a computer without a classic Game Port... but yes, it was pretty sad to see them end like this; I particularly loved the "direct" feel of the buttons. Plus, they were the first analog joysticks I ever bought that were always true to their calibration.
Well, now I'm flying Thrustmaster's HOTAS Warthog, which is in a league of its own.
Erm yours didn't die the pc changed my usb ch pro stick and pedals are very natural and weighted nicely soon to be joined by the throttle (currently using the toe brakes as throttle)
The fact you can buy spares for these gives them a long life span as an investment hopefully you can do the same with site kit?

Well, for practical purposes my old CH devices are dead. But yes, if the old connectors were still around, I'd quite certainly still be using them. For some time I had even thought about reviving them with some home-brewn new PCB based on a JoyWarrior controller chip, but never got around to it.
