I've used the X45 for three years now. I've never had a problem with it, I've recommended it to DOZENS, and I have yet to even see a stick that I'd trade it for.

I might consider this option as well. How big is it?

Used it a few months now and seems very good on the only game I use FS9.

It has lots of buttons, wheels etc for configuring on the two sticks, so you do not have to move your hand to the keyboard.

There are a lot of posts on this, a few pages back, with fotos and advices. luke

They can pry my X45 from my cold, dead fingers...

Of course, if they bring me a brand new X52 they can probably convince me to release my grip on the X45.

I am loving mine. I would have never bought it, if not for Charlie mentioning a sale at PC world. it was otherwise beyond my price range. however now having it i see why it was pricey. Well worth it.

No, FF is (thankfully) not an option on the X-45.

It was beyond my price range until I saw it at PC World! When I took it to the checkout I asked the guy if it really was only £20, and he laughed and said he doubted it...

... then he scanned it and there it was £19.99
