Hey, I've been through a couple joysticks in my time and in the future I'll have a larger amount of cash to blow on a big computer rig (thinking simpit). And I was looking at the Saitek X-52 when in the recommended tab I saw the new X-65F from Saitek. Think you guys should have a look at it. It doesn't have the unnecessary LCD display or the weird handle on the yoke like the X-52. Pretty cool if you ask me.

Moved to Technical support forums, please post in the correct area next time.


I personally have a X-52 and have for many years and its done me very well and love it to bits.

The X-65F to me thou I'm not sure about it tbh. It looks to have some really neat features like force sensing, dual throttle and other things but I really don't like the fact a lot of thous buttons that the X-52 (+Pro version) had have gone missing... Instead it looks like they have removed them to try and make you splash out more money on "Flight Panels", which is yes cool if your seriously into flight sims and have loads of cash to blow but tbh I think that's a bridge to far for me.

If I was going to get a new stick I would most likley get the X-52 Pro, although I would be very tempted at the X-65F I must admit.
