I have a friend that's getting into simming and he's asked me a question that I don't have an answer for. It seems there are 2 different x52 pro joysticks:

This one: http://www.buy.com/prod/saitek-advanced-...8/10412072.html

and This one: http://www.buy.com/prod/saitek-ps34-x52-pro-flight-control-system/q/loc/108/204389833.html

Can anyone tell me the difference besides 60 bucks?

Thanks in advance

I had x52, now have x52pro

pro is better as long as you are lucky enough to get a good one.
I had a bit of carry on with both sticks, but many others had no issues at all.

I would go for pro, its better stick if you can afford it.
But they are both ok for the money

quite nice x52 pro review and comparison with x52 here

Edit - Nevermind.

It's what I get for listening to my friend and not reading correctly. One is the X52, the other is the X52 Pro. Imma dumbass.

Nyxs,

This link



is for X-52 (PS28 X52) "vanila"version, not PRO (PS34 X52 Pro). Notice the silver finish, instead the black of PRO.

your first link is for x52 (silver stick)
your second link is for x52pro (black stick)

Sorry - I stand corrected.

For whats its worth Amazon has the X52 (silver-standard) for $66.98 shipped....that's a pretty good price for a starter HOTAS or for someone on a budget.
