My X52 joystick stopped working just shy of a year.  Sent it in for repair and had the replacement/repaired unit back in under three weeks.

Held up better than I expected, especially to a grown man's temper tantrum. 

Saitek appreciates your $350 I'm sure.  Oh well, as long as he feels better.  :lol

That's funny...I guess I got the lucky batch of X52, had mine for 5 years or so now and works flawlessly.

Which is why I don't get all these problems that people have. I guess I got a CH version of the X52.....or something. I can't wait for the day when I have had my X52 for 10 years and people still complain about havin theirs for two months. :)

I had mine for two years.  Can't wait for it to break so I can get a reliable rugged ch stick. I haved dropped it kicked it, yanked it, spilled all knds of liquids and it won't quit. I even threw it against the wall last time grizz killed me with his 262.  and except for a small crack on the base it just keeps on working.  I don't think that's fair.

i have both a standard and pro version of the x52...and have had zero issue with both...other than the horrible software they write to control it...I dont even mess around with that and just let the game deal with it or the os...

the standard version is still virtually brand new as I have been using the black one since feb 07

anyone want to trade 2 cases of beer for a standard x52?

u know what is the funny part about the video, he says he bought 3? he either lied about it or is a moron, hard to tell, but either way he's a moron.  one I think that was his first and he got frustrated and decided to get even by posting that video.  just asked me how I came to that conclusion?  simple, I say. U buy one and it breaks down, maybe u give the benefit of the doubt and buy a second one.  but a third one?  that really makes u a moron, or u lie about it and decide to make video and tell every one u bought 3.  I have only bought one x52 pro, and I have abused the heck out of me and it still works.  I don't think I bought the only x52 pro that wont break down, so I am not unique. either way it is on the internet and of course everything he says its the truth, because, nobody ever lies or exaggerates about anything on the internet.
