So prepare yourself with hardware that has massive amounts of buttons under your fingers.

Speed Brake is variable, and stops movement when Throttle Slider is in center deadzone, and the MODE Roller makes a great DGFT/Clear/MRM mode selector. Powerful Programming Software (PC Only) After installing downloadable software, you are then free to create custom profiles for different flight sim software. Most dangerous actions are on Toggles & Throttle Shifted state (holding down pinky), including 'Landing Gear Down' actions - 'Gear Up' as an unshifted button.lank Layout Graphic and. On top of that all additional custom hardware will be in the way if you are using Virtual Reality glasses. The X52's LCD screen - with adjustable backlighting - enables you to view information about your button configurations with only a quick glance. Remember: While you can build a F16 cockpit you'll never be able to build replicas of all space ships on Star Citizen for example. Those offer Maximum precision possible at the price point with great amounts of buttons. If that is too expensive get a Thrustmaster T16.000 (35$/€ has throttle slider but no dedicated throttle unit!).If too expensive get a used Saitek x52 Pro (100$/€).That said it's buttons are hard to press, not of much use for everyday gaming (too many switches, massively lacking buttons and rotaries - only 1 button on the throttle grip, 2 more on the base!) My recommendations for space pilots are:

If you're after simulation there aren't many sticks I'd recommend aside from the Warthog.

Sticks I have used which broke / were sold off / replaced by new model:
