Saitek has had a bad rep for years for failing at random, X52 and X52 Pro especially

I've had both the X52 and X52 Pro and loved em both. They both worked well and my son still has the X52. Anyway, enter the X65F and the Warthog and my life changed after that. I took back the X65F because I didn't like the non-movement of it and paid the difference for the Warthog, which has been my ultimate purchase for simming. It's an absolutely fantastic design and feel to it. It's a bit pricey, but can find some killer deals on eBay and online. Well worth the price, even if it means ramen noodles for a month to compensate.

2nd glowing endorsement for the Warthog here.
Point blank... I #%&*$# LOVE it.
I always love TM gear but was never a fan of programming them. Enter TARGET and my last complaint is nullified. The drag and drop Ui couldn't be simpler to use.
I HIGHLY recommend you save for it if you have to. The Warthog is simply an amazing piece of work and helps me to more fully enjoy simming.

X-45 for many years, it's still working on my kids rig. Switched to CH gear about a year ago. I should have switched long ago, I love it.
