The Saitek trim wheel is in my opinion a waist of money, because you have only one trim axis instead of 3.

The throttle quadrant is a good addition to my warthog Joystick. I can use it for mixture, prop pitch, radiator and flaps control. But for trimming it feels not fine enough.

The reason for the trimwheel is the fine adjustment it can give for the trim up and down.
Thr trim on my joystick is not fine enough

+1 I have two throttle quadrants as well. Very good value for money.

Used together with my MSSW2FFB and the Saitek X45 thottle.

As I said, the Saitek trim wheel has only one axis for trimming. If it would have 3 axis instead of one, I would buy it.

But 50 € for one trim axis and a Cessna sticker? No way!!!

Default X52 Pro Trim

the X52 Pro has two trim axes wheels. Elevator and rudder trim can be added to the axis wheels in the CoD controls set up. Mine work, problem is that they add too much trim so if you try to compensate for a slight pull to the right and up, even one click left, one click down you end up in a left, downward additude that has to be compensated for with the joystick which is no better than before. Should be a sensitivity setting so that these are very fine adjustments and not major shifts to the control surfaces.
