X52 delivers precise flight simulator operation, employing a multifunction LCD for easy access to an astounding minimum of 105 programmable commands. Coordinate your flight plan with clock and stopwatch function. Fly long comfortable stretches with adjustable handle to accommodate a wide range of hand sizes. Illuminated critical buttons on the stick and throttle let you know where to press when time is of the essence. Enhanced LCD display, with adjustable backlighting, gives you information about your button configurations at-a-glance. A highly accurate centering mechanism ensures the joystick will easily return to the neutral position after you let go. Non-contact technology on the X and Y axes enhance control while increasing durability. The throttle unit's progressive functionality improves aircraft response. Detents (physical markings indicating where a certain action activates) simplify control of your craft’s idle, afterburners and reverse thrusters. Yet another customizable feature found on X52, a tension adjustment dial lets you change the throttle's resistance to suit the way you fly. The joystick's twist rudder controls add another dimension of command to simulated flight. If you prefer more traditional control, a rudder lock switch disables the twist capabilities and confines input to the X and Y axes – ideal for use with Logitech G Flight Rudder Pedals (sold separately). A five-position handle adjustment system conforms to your grip style and hand size. And to promote maximum comfort during epic flights, the joystick's handle also features contours which harmonize with your digits.
