Amazon is currently offering the Logitech X52 Flight Control System for $129.99 shipped. Normally going for $160, this 28% discount marks a return to the all-time Amazon low price and comes within $30 of the all-time low we’ve tracked. The X52 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 a blue LCD screen for displaying which profile is selected, which is set up with the X52 software, current time, and a timer. 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’re on a tighter budget, you could instead grab the Thrustmaster T16000M FCS Flight Stick for $80. Here the joystick features four axes of control with 16 action buttons and orange accents and backlighting. The control axes give you a great level of precision with Thrustmaster’s HallEffect AccuRate Technology and the ambidextrous design allows anyone regardless of their left or right handiness to use the joystick comfortably. Thrustmaster’s Advanced Programming Graphical Editor allows you to combine other Thrustmaster devices together in one mapping profile.
