Featuring 23 buttons, three 8-way hat switches and 7 control axes, the Saitek X52 gives you 47 basic commands plus the control axes. But when you include the programming options provided by powerful Saitek Smart Technology programming software, which allows you to make use of the 3 position mode switch and Pinkie shift switch, the total number of programmable commands rises to 282!
And if this isn’t enough, you can program even more commands by adding more modes with the programming software. With the Saitek X52, you no longer need to touch your PC keyboard during flight simulation so you can keep your hands planted where they need to be, on the stick and throttle.
With all those commands, things could get confusing so you can use the Multi-Function Display (MFD) screen to check programmed command names and use the clock and stopwatch function for timing the legs of your flight plan.
The Saitek X52 also uses magnetic hall effect, non-contact sensors for the stick movement, so you won’t ever need to worry about employing a ground crew for regular services.
