Does the Saitek X52 have a twist handle for roll? If not what functions for roll? I have a Logitec 3d Pro. I am looking to upgrade. X52 looks like a very nice but expensive upgrade and since the stores around here don't carry it I can't check it out in person.

I have the Saitek Cyborg Evo, the default for the twist axis is for roll, but you can reprogram it however you want in the game's keymap. Yes, it does have a twist axis.

The twist axis is supposed to be replacement for the rudder control, which in reality would control the yaw, not roll. But that would make it a bit harder for space flight I think. Feel free to tinker around with both and see which you like more.

Saitek is very nice though, if you can afford that much for a joystick, you'll be happy with it.

I thinkwhat you usefor control really does make the game more immersive, not to mention easier to control.

^ It mentions it hasa twist rudder axis under the joystick information section.

Good flying!

Awesome. Do you order online or were you able to get it locally? From my limited research it looks like I either will have to order online or travel 2 hours to pick one up.

I have ordered online direct from Saitek and found them very fast. Iordered my Cybord EVO force the day it was available from factory and had it within a day or so
