I've been looking at getting a button box and it just popped into my head i wonder if this would work. And so i found your video thank you so much. You say its expensive but if you look at button boxes with this amount of buttons then it's not that bad. And it's a good build quality as well. I think I'm going to buy it. Thanks again
@viennagamer16834 жыл бұрын
Glad I could help you - and yes dedicated button boxes are stupidly expensive, I know. This thing is a good alternative, but please note that the built quality isn't that good, the buttons do feel a little cheap, but I have no problem with it, but if you can try it out before you buy it I would recommend it to make sure you like it!

controller was originally made for farming simulator by saitek, which meanwhile got bought by logitech. although they dont seem to be branded, recent models are logitech for sure, and older ones are saitek. also has a stearing wheel, but many have said its construction is below standards of both brands, and not worth the price for the quality. side panel however has been an adition to many players who already have a stearing wheel, either for farming sim or other games.

its late, but yes, the spinning wheel is not analog however, its like a mouse scrollwheel. In a way roundabout way its a 6 axis, the right button on the stick toggles it to use other axises. if toggled on it uses a totally diffrent set of axises as far as the computer is concerned.

Someone on Amazon wrote that when he called Logitech about faulty buttons (the old panel version) they e-mailed him to actually destroy the panel and he got the updated version which, as he said, had better quality. I'm still unsure about all of this though, currently looking around to find out more. But looking at this picture there was definitely something changed: i.imgur.com/EKgIbEi.png (left is new/right is old)

I think I'll get one of these. I use a X52 Pro and I find that when in space, trying to find a system to jump to quickly is a real hassle. It's not the sort of thing you want to fumble with in open play. Hopefully, this side panel should sort it.
