elite dangerous saitek x52 pro vs Thrustmaster

I will also tell you that you will have to convince Amazon to send you more than one replacement. Go through Amazon, and if you are fortunate, you will get one that has a more recent manufacture date. The reasons have been mentioned above, and I would also add that you should have a powered USB hub (like $20) for it as well, to prevent any ghosting issues. I will tell you this about the X-56 I would not use anything else to play this game, but you need to go in with the understanding that you might have to get a few of them (and mix and match throttle/stick pieces) to get one that works reliably. It worked quite well, and if you look at the controls in your ship, you might find that they look very, very similar. I have one of the unicorn X-52's, because I got it early in its life cycle, and it sits here as my backup. I cannot even land smoothly much less go into combat. Using a Warthog joystick and an X-55 throttle for the moment but having a HARD time without the joystick yaw now programmed to another control. I guess we cannot rely on Logitech/Saitek to resolve the reliability issues.

UPDATE: After 81 days the Saitek X-56 X and Y axis (roll & pitch) died. The quality could still be an issue so I would suggest getting an extended warranty just in case. The X-56 has more controls than any other HOTAS on the market and works very well with ED. I love the two additional analog sticks versus the X-55 that makes for some great thruster abilities as well as smooth camera moves.

Initially there is too much grease on the throttle making it 'stick' when idle but it's broken in now. I use it both for ED and X-Plane so it gets a workout.with no profiles needed on either. Two months into my X-56 and it is working just fine. Replaced an X-55 after 3 years with a broken yaw spring. Much better build quality and reputation vs. Or just go with the FCS kit for less than the cost of the basic X52 (non-pro). For about the same cost as an X52 Pro, however, you can get the Thrustmaster F16000M FCS (Stick and throttle) plus the pedals. In any case, I used the X52 Pro for a few years, removed the rubber throttle stop when it came loose, constantly adjusted the ever increasing deadzones and so on until the mouse issue above caused me to scrap the whole thing. But regardless of disabling it in the configuration, the input was still being recorded and acted upon by the OS, so it made the computer unusable. Wouldn't have been bad if I could have disabled the stupid thing in the settings since I never found it useful in the first place. In my case, the little mouse nipple thing shorted out resulting in a constant 'up' signal to the mouse.

It failed around August of 2016 after a long series of faults and glitches finally made it impossible to use.
