No idea on X52 Pro, but the regular one is pretty good bang for the buck. I've had mine since 2004 I believe, and so far no problems with it. Everything still functions as it should. My only gripe is the "wonky" feeling of the stick at its stock state, but there are several ways to fix that with a custom mod which takes a few minutes. In modern sims I use the whole setup, while in IL2 I only use the the throttle and replace the stick with an MS FFB2 because the latter stick has force feedback and generally feels better.
