I'm thinking about picking it up, just wondering if anyone else has any experience with it.

Specs and features sound great, I currently use a new Logitech Force 3D pro, nice and all, but I'd love to have a real throttle instead of this cheap lil flicker switch.

Solotwo, did you notice the reconditioned one's at $69.95 = £40.16 ????
I'm still tempted at this price.

I have the X52 - best purchase I ever made. It comes with some good software which allows you to easily customise it for different games with it has 3 modes.

There are something in the region of 30-40 buttons to set, so you will never be short!

If you do buy one and want a hand setting it up, just shout.

Money isn't really an issue so I'd rather have a brand new one then have a wee bit of worry when I use it. Thanks for the input, I'm probably going to order it tonight. 🙂
