Logitech’s X52 Pro Flight Control System with 282 programmable commands falls to $184 low

Amazon is now offering the Logitech X52 Pro Flight Control System for $183.99 shipped. Normally going for $230, this 20% discount, or solid $46 price drop, marks a new all-time low price we’ve seen. The X52 Pro Flight Control System comes with a throttle unit and joystick that is connected with a single cable so only one USB port is needed. The joystick unit uses magnetic, non-contact X- and Y-axis sensors to increase longevity and accuracy, and includes rudder support by twisting the stick with the ability to lock this out if you have dedicated pedals. The throttle unit has an LCD screen for displaying which profile is selected and interacting with radios in your favorite games. In total, there are 282 programmable commands across the three modes so you have access to every action without needing a keyboard. Keep reading for more.

If you want to save some cash and don’t need as many controls that are provided with the X52, then be sure to check out the classic Logitech G Extreme 3D Pro Joystick for $39. In total there are 12 programmable buttons for setting up hotkeys and actions within your flight simulator program, like Microsoft’s new Flight Simulator. An 8-way hat switch can be configured so you can look around your aircraft without needing your mouse. While it doesn’t have a full dedicated throttle unit, there is a little lever that can be bound to throttle so you still have fine control. The joystick here also features rudder support with a twisting action but does lack a rudder lockout.
