However many people seemed to have good luck with the X52 sticks and because all the Thrustmaster sticks I considered required rudder pedals for optimal use, I took the plunge and got the X52 Pro, still a little nervous that I would find some of that signature Mad Catz build quality when I got it out of the box. Many people who have used Saitek sticks as of late said they are absolutely ripe with design faults and it made me initially lean towards the Thrustmaster sticks. Saitek is now owned and warrantied by Logitech but the sticks made under the Mad Catz era still remain. The X52 Pro came out the same year Saitek was acquired the infamous Mad Catz, renowned for pretty radically designed peripherals with rather shit build quality. Its awesome and it will make E: D even better.I'm going to note that I did initially feel like I was taking a gamble with Saitek. I've slowly worked through it as I found that I was still needing keys on the keyboard, now I only use the keyboard for typing in the chat. In mode 3, the same button on the stick is set to click 'z' to toggle assist off.
So for example, I have the number 7 key mapped to 75% throttle in the game, and when in mode 1, one of the buttons is set to click 7. To set up the mode switches its pretty straight forward once you have your head around it, but it will involve remapping some of the controls in the game to a key, then mapping that key to the button on the controller. There are a couple of gotchas, but a search will find you the solutions to those (clutch button setting and shift key). The trick to it is to stick with the standard bindings to start with (just choose it from the drop down in the controller options) and play around. I have just set up the mode switches to have a few of the buttons do different things when you flick it.
