Feedback for a new Joystick

Actually I really like that setup the best as the X52 throttle has a timer for knowing when those hangers or town buildings will pop.

You can also set the timer for how long until you need to replace your stick.

1: last long time unlike me
2: never looses calibration
3: the things you can make it do with CH Control Manager.
4: can get replacement parts but will never have too.
5: smoothness and great control
6:

#2 should be amended to unless you bump the wheels on side of stick.

Mine don't move that easy you have to push them to move them. That is not loosing calibration you are fine tuning the pot. Not the same thing.
 It is a very easy fix.You have found one little thing that you don't like so you make it look like it is a big deal to steer others away from CH? If you don't want to fix it yourself you can always RMA it CH stands behind their equipment unlike other manufactures.
 The only way I can see them getting loose is that you didn't understand what they were and used them for trim and wore them out by using them all the time. If they came that way then you should have addressed it from the start with CH.
 I had my analog set for 10 years and gave it to a squadie that used the fix for it to work in XP. I've had the USB set for 6 years with no problems at all.

cryptic is not that i dont like it, I do.  But the stick is not as wonderful as you guys make it sound.  I've had mine for 2 months now and it took me a while to get work right.  and by that I mean, work the way i want it.  Down from it slides too easy on the desk, all u gotta do is tap/brush against the wheels and it moves just a little different, to I cant reach the damn two top buttons with my midget hands  .

and I do understand what the 3 wheels are for, and that i knew from before i bought the stick, also knew about you needing big hands and about how easy it slides on the desk.  I noticed this because i waited a year before i bought it learned about the little problems before i got it.  In other words I made an informed buy.  and all this little problems came up by reading here in the bb, by guys who said, yeah its a good stick, but, this little thing bothers me...

 My CH setup(Combat, Pro throttle, pedals) prior to this one lasted 10 years, with exception of the stick. It lasted till I had extra money burning a hole in my pocket a upgraded to a Fighterstick. Then when they came out with USB I went cheap and got a Saitek. Not bad. Just not as good. 2 years later dumped the saitek in the trash. Went back to CH.

All my CH products (still) sit in the boxes,

3d extreme pro works fine, i buy um two at a time for 30 bucks a piece and they usually last around 6 to 8 months.

the computer in my skull can only do a few things at a time so all the CH stuff is just to much to do all at once.

I do use the throttle but for the buttons only.

I been useing the X-52 for about 18 month now, only problem was it was getting stiff to manuver but a clean up and lube with PAM it has been fine ever since, and I use there pedals too so far no problems except sliding on the floor

   Don't forget people! CH-product's makes joysticks for industrial use! like cranes, Ive had mine for just a couple months now,  there's no comparison to anything else i've evr used!  SO PRECISE!

I've laid my hands on CH products at every con I've visited. I like the way they move, but I can't reach the buttons.  I wear gloves size #10, but my fingers are relatively short. The older Logitech 3D extreme (game port with USB addon cord) fit my hand perfectly, and I got familiar with the new one, too. For the last couple of years I've been using the Thrustmaster TopGun Afterburner II. The grip is similar to the latter Logitech, although I'd like to add some buttons here and there. Anyway, it's got a throttle, which is much better than a slider on the stick itself. With all these I've been using pedals from a steering wheel, hoping someday feel rich enough to buy a real set.

Summa summarum, I'd buy CH if they made it for general desktop gaming purpose rather than a replica of some modern fighter jet, meant to operate with gloves on from the side of your seat.
