New flight stick/throttle for around 200.00$. Suggestions?
- Thread starter Oakos
- Start date
X52 Pro is a decent setup, but be advised that the build quality and apathetic QA process makes getting a 'solid' unit somewhat of a gamble. Brand new out of the box, mine has about half an inch of free play in the stick, and after barely two weeks of moderate use the throttle is now consistently losing it's calibration, requiring me to recalibrate it almost daily to remove the persistent forward thrust when set to idle. The play in the joystick is particularly disappointing, given that one can find videos from 4+ years ago showing this same issue, and how to gin up a 'fix' for it, yet the manufacturer seems to have done nothing in that time to address it.
I was going to RMA it through Amazon, but looking at the site earlier today, it's now only available via the Marketplace, so I'm not sure I can even get a replacement from them. I may have to take my chances with Saitek and hope I don't get someone else's 'refurbished' unit.
