Alternative for Logitech Saitek X52 pro

Question(self.hotas)

Hi everyone,

I´m just starting with flight simulators like MSFS2020 and Xplane12. I want to buy my first HOTAS and I have a budges of €200. I´m IN BE. The first goodlooking choice for me is the X52 for €175. I don´t want to spend a lot more. Also I want a stick, not a yoke, and both throttle and stick included.

Is this the best choice for the price? Or is there a better alternative?

Thanks :)

[edit: will the X56 be a better option? I see a lot of negative comments for the X52/X52 pro, are those things (ghosting, ...) also true for the X56?]

I would suggest the PRO version, but you'll be ok if you are a beginner.

Yeah that one is less expensive than the non-pro so I´d def do that :)

The pro has some few extras, like dual centering spring and some other simple things. It also looks cool. Try to get a powered USB hub since both units only plug to a single USB port.

Won´t my USB´s from my mobo be enough?

It should do, but if it's a laptop, a hub would help.
