Joystick Question

Between Saitek X52 pro and Ch stick whats best?

Iam using saitek x45 with trotle, in the trotle i got in my fingers the rudders that I love to use.

Iam looking for something similar or to buy the pedals.

Is this 2 the saitek or ch have in the hand the rudder or I have to buy a rudder pedals?

CH is best. Which is why it costs at least twice as much, usually more.

The X45 is the only stick of those you mentioned with a rudder rocker. I believe ones of the very old sticks may have had it. Near all (if not all) modern rudder systems are twist sticks or pedals. The "twisties" are operated by rotating the joystick column with your wrist. This is what the X52 uses.

I've heard that the CH internals are crummy.
That being said, I have an X52 and it's pretty good, except the rudder twist is creaky and sometimes it's a little twitchy on the elevators.

The CH pedals have a tendency to pinch their wires...right around the three-year-old mark. And then they'll replace them for you.

I was referring specifically to the pots in the stick of t he CH's.

Furthermore I am very confused. I confused COUGAR with CH, and Cougar HOTAS is the one that I understand has bad components and the CH stuff is top of the line. Apologies!

i use an X52 throttle, CH fighterstick, CH propedals.

Don't believe everything you hear.  My Cougar works great.  CH is also top of the line.

I cannot use rudder ped's and have found that the LOGITECH EXTREME 3DPRO TWIST STICK, works great for me.  6 buttons and hat on top and 6 buttons and throttle on  base.  Very responsive and non-spiking.

I love my saitek, 7 years old and still workin fine. I cant tell you the model, that paint wore off years ago. I paid less than $20 for it.

Logitec sticks generally have lifespans of less than three months without pot replacement.

I love my X52 but I will agree the twist rudder can be a bit jerky/twitchy..  also the stick is a little, loose,  but that can be modified with a little mucking around.

[CrazyOWl]

is the x52 and the x52 pro have the same stick twist for rudders?

I'm using the same configuration except my peds are Saitek, which IMHO provide a smoother "glide", seem to be more durable and have adjustable foot rests.
