Could be - the community seem to be split (50-50?): There are many who have absolutely no problem with the ReversalBug and many (like me) who find it intolerable.

No, probably not:

(selfquote from another thread)
[...] Only the X and Y axes of the stick are hall-sensored. All other axes have 'cheap' pots (I've seen those on the throttle-levers when I modded mine): trim1-3, throttle-levers 1 an 2, R1 and R2, the pedals, and the 2 toe-brakes.

Purportedly this is the reason why Logitech has fixed (well, minimized) the ReversalBug on X and Y axes of the stick, but has not done anything about all the other axes, and as rumour has it, will not ever (see here and here).

The reason behind this refusal is - again a rumour - that the ReversalBug prevents users from noticing the wearing-out of the cheap pots - because they're already used to this kind of behaviour. It makes sense to me, because the ReversalBug is, as Sokol1 wrote, in the Firmware and (a) was easily fixed for the hall sensored axes and completely disappears when you connect the pot-sensored axes to one of Bodnar's boards.

But then you can mod it anytime. We'll help :grin:

Too late Doc..

if you do the magnet mod for the x52 then the fine control in the centre improves vastly. do have the rudder pedals but never got on with them, prefer the twisty stick in all honesty.

i'd heartily recommend taking this offer up tbh, £150 is a snip for the set.

Gotta agree with the CH comments. Basically the 1st and last HOTAS you'll ever have to buy..
