Saitek x52Pro and Pedals £150 yes or no?

[Ze-Jamz]

been offered these for £150..and the pedals are only 3 weeks old

Stick has around 30 hours give or take

Im just torn between this or spend nearly half again and get the Logitech G940 which tbh i cant afford yet so would have to wait

What would you do? views?

I own the stick and am not impressed, especially with the fine movement around the centre. The interior build quality leaves much to be desired. Can't comment on the logitech although I have cannibalised the cheaper Extreme 3D Pro electronics in the past and was more impressed with this than the Saitek.

if you do the magnet mod for the x52 then the fine control in the centre improves vastly. do have the rudder pedals but never got on with them, prefer the twisty stick in all honesty.

i'd heartily recommend taking this offer up tbh, £150 is a snip for the set.

well ive already decided to get the g940

But tbh its not that good a price...you ca get the X52PRO and pedals NEW for £199 with free P&P

Gotta agree with the CH comments. Basically the 1st and last HOTAS you'll ever have to buy..

I would say yes if you need a stick and throttle!

The stick is not great, the throttle is quite good lots of buttons and it cost me £100 for the pedals alone.. not too bad a deal.

g940 is a pain i nthe arse. throtle as life span of 100 hours or so. im about to take my second unit for replacement once i find the recipt again.

Thanks for the replies lads though they don't help

Hmm Saitek stick being like the old on then, I brought the original x52 when they first came out and sent it back 5 days later due to it centre deadzone..seriously annoying!

But the g940 doesn't sound like much either..


I missed out a wathog for £210 secondhand but tbh I think it's a bit overkill for this game as I don't play any other sims although I see it being excellent for DCS.

I don't know what to do, as much as I think they look boring I'm starting to think the CH stuff just cuz I never hear anything bad about them, they just look crap imo.

Part of me is thinking £150 isn't slot to spend on a entire setup but then you can get the g940 for just over £200 now.

So still none the wiser..
