Just repeating the review I posted on the other X52 Pro:
I bought this joystick for a friend in Brazil in dec of 2006. He plays frequently and never had a problem.
It was love at first sight. I didn't want to give him the first unit and I couldn't buy myself one at that time, however I finally bought mine.
Installation in Windows XP was easy and painless.
Didn't have a single problem, I downloaded the newest driver and programing software from Saitek (I didn't use the CD). Installed them, plugged the Joystick and all worked.
I think that the customizable lights (thee options) in each button are very neat. I have mine to play falcon AF, which has lots of different functions and the different colors help me remember the functions of the buttons.
PROS:
-very customizable
-feels like well built
-a friend has used it for a long time and never had problems. I have mine for 2 weekends and no problem whatsoever.
-has a 2 year warranty
CONS:
-Didn't find any so far. I will update this with time.

I use this joystick with x-plane. It works fine and has a lot of bottons/sliders. I am still learning to adapt it to the simulator. As any other joystick it may not be perfect, but it's still very good.
Follow up:
This joystick could be improved. If the bottom part (where the spring is) is not lubricated, the movement may not be so smooth.

Just recently purchased this unit and I am very happy with the construction and looks of the system. I am however, deeply disappointed with the SST programming documentation that came with this unit. Trying to learn how to write game profiles with the scanty documentation provided is very frustrating, to say the least. Accessing Saitek's forum did provide a few more clues on how to use the profiler, but much more is sorely needed. The instructional videos that can be downloaded, from the forum, was a very good idea, but videos are for the "Pad" unit only. More videos are needed for their other units .... and specifically for others and myself ... the X52 Pro system.
I am sure it is going to take me some time to learn how to take advantage of all the features that this unit offers and I am in high hopes that the longevity of this unit will not be in question, as it is still a new purchase. Other units I have purchased from other manufacturers, have ended up with sticky switches and poor centering of the joystick in a few short months.
To sum up: My biggest gripe is the very poor CD documentation that Saitek offers (pretty much on your own here), unless of course you're a programming guru yourself. For the lay person, it is very confusing.
On the plus side: It seems to be a very well constructed unit, but still not for heavy duty users who like to supply their "own force feedback" in the heat of the gaming battle. I've had no problems with the unit using its standard features, but my reason for purchasing was for the extended programming capabilities that it offers ... and I must add those capabilities are expensive $$$$$.
I gave this unit a rating of 4 stars on its looks and construction only.
I would give it a rating of 1 star on its documentation and support. Hopefully, Saitek will provide the much needed instruction for their units in the not to distant future, as all of it's customers do not want to be Beta testers. When paying this amount of money for a device, the buyer should be getting the maximum "bang for their buck!" Right now, I'm in the wait and see mode .... time will tell if this unit is well worth the dollars spent.
