Saitek X52 joystick

Hey guys today I am going to write about one great product for Flight simulators, its Saitek X52 joystick.
I bought this joystick almost a year ago it was around $150(bought in Serbia) and I can say that it's definitely worth that money.
Joystick is designed for combat flight simulators (Lock On), but I am using it mostly on Microsoft flight simulator X. It's based on HOTAS system (Hands On Throttle-And-Stick) so virtual fighter pilots can fly without need for keyboard. It has three different modes, that means that you can set 3 different types of controls and then in the game you can choose between them, also it has LCD display which shows current mode, name of pressed button/knob/trigger, current time (in 3 different time zones) and also it can be used as stopwatch.
Joystick has 32 buttons but it also has shift button (when shift is pressed every button has 2 different  functions so basically you have 64 buttons), it also have mouse left click and mouse axis built in, and it has  five axis and three POVs.
I would like to add that if you are looking for a good joystick this is thing you should buy.

Bye to all till the next post
