Does it work well with Star Citizen? Is the hat switch at the top a good way to control strafing?

I use this with Star Citizen right now, and it works flawlessly. The hat switch is fine for controlling strafing, but for maximum control you'll want two t16000m's or a Warthog+t16000m dual stick setup. I started with one 16k, then went to two, and now have a warthog+t16k+pedals. The main advantage of the warthog over the 16k is the addition of buttons, they're both fantastically accurate. Hope this helps!

I'm playing Elite Dangerous (not Star Citizen) and for that game the 4-way top hat switch is handy for up-down left-right strafing. I cannot attest to the durability of the switch. ED feels like more like driving a truck or a big ship / submarine as opposed to a race car so I do not find myself having to jerk the hat switch very quickly. If I star citizen differs in this respect, I'd read around more to make sure the switch is durable.

I use this on Star Citizen and it works great for me also. It seems very accurate. I would recommend it in its price range.

Anyone that uses the keyboard to turn is a complete moron and should stick with the console games IMO. I use A and F to strafe and W to run forward when I'm trying to click on something from the mouse, otherwise I use the mouse keys. I can see everyone's point that really the keys should be moved over to the left hand side somehow but if you watch the movies on youtube about this keyboard, it does alot more than play SWTOR. Go check it out.

The DDO3 has a more advanced gyro system in it which makes it great for beginners all the way up to advanced 3d pilots such as myself. Out of the box its extremely stable

Provided with the controls, the software allows you to change sensitivity settings. Out of the box the yolk will have a bit of a null zone. I'm not sure if this is what you're referring to by stick and bind. Also, I maximized the control settings in FSX to realistic as possible, other than not having rudder pedals, yet (will purchase soon), the stick/bind is very minimal and I barely noticed it. Changing the null zone will help with this. Personally I left those settings alone, I didn't find it necessary to be changed.

i actually do use these for Elite Dangerous and i have them set as yaw.. they work perfectly and needed no additional help or deadzone. they are spot on right out of the box.

I've been using mine with World of Warplanes and haven't noticed any extra sensitivity to the trim wheels. I'm using a Toshiba laptop with windows 8...It's plug and play, so I haven't noticed any features that allow for adjustment, other than on the set up in WoW. It might be due to the operating system you are using. I would suggest contacting CH to see if they have any updated patches for the flightstick and the operating system you are using. Hope this helps.Gary

It will work. Almost every single control can be assigned to something. Either you can set it up, or download a profile from Saitek. Personally, I use it more for X-Plane and Flight Simulator, so this isnt my top-quality response, but it will work with Elite Dangerous. Try watching some videos ;)

Yea as long as you turn down the sensitivity a bit its good, the extra buttons are also very handy(reloading/switching weapons. I recommend it even if you are playing an fps.

Yep. I originally got it for SWG, and now use it for WoW. I couldn't play WoW without it. I've had this thing for years and it still works like a charm. I LOVE it.

I love this controller! it has different settings to use it as a mouse, or keyboard, or game controller. it depends on the game you want to use it for whether it will work or not. many games have am option for "mapping" under the settings. this is where you will be able to set the functionality of the controller up for that particular game. I use it on my galaxy S III (NO root needed)

Yes it will. You have to clear all the default joystick setting tho in the game. It's pretty straight forward. However, Ive noticed that in BF4 there is a button or two that seems to be bugged. I use the two buttons in front of the throttle to afterburner, and it keeps opening up a damn menu. In all honesty, it works wonders in BF3... But worst in BF4, They seem to have optimized it mainly for the game pad and mouse/keyboard... At least when flying a heli. "i'm not much of a jet guy."

Elite Dangerous was my primary reason for buying this joystick. It works very well and has increased my enjoyment of the game immensely, compared to my std joystick plus keyboard I used prior to the X52. ED comes with a controller profile for the X52 specifically and since patch 1.03 (currently up to 1.04) has had icons for each button on the X52 beside the controls in the setup screen, making it even easier to customise. There are discussions on the X52 in the Elite Dangerous forums where you can get a lot of advice and help ( https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=26644&page;=1 is one example).Definitely my best buy for Elite Dangerous.

it is definitely good and responsive as far as performance goes. Where it really shines is the fact that due to the thickness I don't need a pad for my wrist so I am able to rest my arm level with the surface of the mouse pad, which is an ergonomic thing that varies for different people. You may very well prefer to use a rest for your wrist which means you can probably go with one of the thinner ones which I believe are cheaper.as far as size, it's plenty big enough for even the lowest sensitivity players in any game.

I do not care for Infantry type games like CALL OF DUTY, MEDAL OF HONOR: I prefer ELITE, WING COMMANDER or 4X Grand Strategy games. For these mouse emulation of the mini keyboard are very satisfactory. However the lag time in an FPS type game might not be as optimal as regular dedicated Gamepad would provide.

It comes with programmable software installed on the joystick itself, so you can custom program each and every button to do whatever you want. So while it is geared towards flight control, I'm sure you can get it to do much more on other games.

I haven't had the opportunity to try E:D as of yet, but the classic sims I play are served well by the stick. It can get a little shaky if you're looking for precision aiming, but a recalibration should do the trick. In the end, the price isn't high, and I've found it at least exceeds what you pay for it.

The touchpad and buttons work just as a mouse. If that is all you are needing for the game is mouse usage it should be no problem. The only thing I haven't tried was click and drag.
