However, some users found the joystick to be less than satisfactory, citing issues with its height, stability, and compatibility with certain software. The joystick's lack of tactile feedback was also a point of concern for some customers.

    got this for my pc gaming flying ,, you just canna do it with a keyboard .. and there are many buttons ,,so you really need a manual to understand and maybe how to assign them buttons and even to locate which is which ,, which is no easy task .. .. but so far ,, all i want to do is just simple flying ,, and slowly going thru all the steps of flight sim ... to just fly best would be to mount it on a solid surface .. i put it on the next level stand ,, where a shifter would be ,,, and did not have to drill any new holes but had to buy some long screws and nuts ,, however ,, the throttle is just sitting next to me on the sofa ... as i soar and float ,,, so would like to setup a mount for it later .. pricey too but also wanted the better quality joy-stick ..

    Works great, the only thing that I could ask for is that it was compatible with consoles as well.

    The HOTAS is compatible and supported across a variety of games to this day. The driver software isn't Logitech G Hub, it seems to be a relic from the Saitek days and isn't incredibly intuitive; but you do get control over every button, knob, switch, and axis on the HOTAS. The build of the controller is just about all plastic and it's lighter than you'd expect for the size of it, so it's important to anchor each half of the controller however you can. Simulator stuff gets expensive real quick, but this Logitech HOTAS is still supported, well priced, and generally popular starting point for space and flight simulation.

    This thing was a nightmare from the get go, downloaded the software that was required and the display wouldn't work, so I decided to Google some problem solving solutions and there was more videos on how to fix all the things that were wrong with this product, anywhere from how to repair the spring in the joystick and how to bypass the issues with the software, so I tried using some of the downloads that were recommended and almost ended up with a few viruses, the only way I was able to get the display to come on was by rebooting my pc, but couldn't access anything, the joystick is too tall and flimsy, it was like moving around a microphone stand, there's so much movement between axis, if you're looking for a real feel for simulation this is not the one to go with, I don't know how it got any good reviews, but then again I don't know what people are using it for, so to each's own, I was glad to pack mine up and take it back.

    I bought this to place Star Wars squadron on my desktop and it’s fantastic. It took me a bit to figure out controls but that’s probably just me.

    It’s nothing special, l didn’t feel good. The controls don’t show you any feeling and the other side they damaged quickly with little use.

    This is a tried and true flight controller. After Logitech bought out Saitek they rebranded the X52 under their name but it is still built the same way as Saitek does. Exact same controller. I really recommend it because once you get the software installed you can do anything in flight simulator with it.
