Saitek x55 arrived!

[D-Rook]

My x55 came today and since many people were interested in it, I thought I'd make a thread with some pics, and open it up to questions. I'll be giving it a thorough playtest come the weekend when I can review it better with several different games.



UPDATES TO COME!

manuvuer macros :P

 

[chrizz]

the more important question is: where is this bag from down on the right side. is this fast-food ??

 

[HechtorDravere]

Someone mention food?

 

[Egriz]

How study does it feel?

How secured to the desk is the joystick? Meaning...when you use the joystick, does it easily "wobble" and lift up from the desk? I know the x52 Pro has suction cups on the bottom. Curious to whether it's the same with the x55.

the X55 has rubber stands on the bottom as well as mounting holes that go through the entire base of both controls. When I was using it on a solid surface I haven't noticed any lifting from the desk, though there was a little bit of sliding on the throttle when I cranked it to full quickly.

yeah, I don't know why i got mine early either.

 

[Daiten Baou]

The switches are lit!?

Yeah, the switches on the throttle are lit, as are the three hats on the top of the joystick, though they really aren't noticeable.

 

[HechtorDravere]

Yeah, great. WHERE'S THE FOOD.

 

[halfsane]

Looks awesome. I've never had joysticks, but I fucken want em!

 

[DominationAgenda]

Got a question which isn't really worth opening about new thread, but isn't related to the joystick either.
What is your opinion on the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X Flight Stick. It's the only one which people liked AND is within my price range.
