A weighted base for the throttle might've solved this problem, but I expect that Saitek's assumes users will bolt it down, so adding 5 pounds of weight would be pointless and add to the cost. It shouldn't be a problem for the flight stick, but the throttle does slide on its rubber feet if you only push or pull it you need to apply some downward force to keep it from moving. The bases of the stick and throttle are also sturdy plastic. They feel very sturdy and comfortable in hand, and should stand up to years of use. The flight stick and throttle grips are what I would describe as rubberized plastic. Can you tell me if they've got some metal in there to reinforce the stick? or is it all plastic? My only concern is that it looks a little flimsy. It's time to plug in my Rhino and have some Reavern I'm confident that the feel of the throttle movement will grow on me after I get used to it. Sure, I can't go from idle to afterburner to idle again in a split second, but I shouldn't need to. However, the slow-ish throttle movement isn't a bad thing it actually feels good and more realistic than most of the throttles I've used in the past. I immediately reduced the throttle tension using the adjustment knob, but I didn't notice a significant difference. The throttle's movement is best described as accurate and deliberate - meaning slow and tight. I plan on experimenting with the 4 springs and see which one I prefer. The flight stick's movement feels good and very precise. I expect I'll learn how grip it properly so that doesn't happen. On the throttle, all the buttons and HATs and switches feel great, but I'm concerned that the placement of the 2 buttons and HAT on the front of the throttle grip might cause me to press them accidentally when pulling back.
The trigger feels really good to pull, with just the right firmness and a satisfying click. They're exactly where they should be on the flight stick, and they're crisp and give good feedback. Both the flight stick and throttle feel very comfortable and fit naturally in my hands. I am very impressed by the X-55 Rhino's looks, feel, function, and build quality.
Needless to say that I'm very pleased and am eager to try it out. My new Flight Stick and Throttle arrived today: the Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino H.O.T.A.S.
