Logitech G X52 Pro Flight Control System vs VKB Gunfighter IV Modern Combat Edition (MCE) Pro Joystick for MSFS: 15.5-point gap favors VKB.
The VKB Gunfighter IV MCE Pro scores 75/100 against the X52 Pro's 59.5/100, a gap that translates directly to more precise control authority during high-workload phases like ILS approaches into EGLL or manual IFR holds. The X52 Pro's 39-button layout gives button-hungry pilots more assignable functions for managing avionics, autopilot modes, and ATC menus without touching the keyboard during VFR cross-country legs. The VKB's all-metal construction and tighter gimbal tolerances pay off most visibly during slow-speed photogrammetry zone flybys in VR, where input noise and center slop directly degrade immersion.
Logitech G X52 Pro Flight Control System
Choose Logitech G X52 Pro Flight Control System if you need maximum button count for complex avionics management across long VFR cross-country legs and want to keep your hands off the keyboard entirely.
VKB Gunfighter IV Modern Combat Edition (MCE) Pro Joystick
Choose VKB Gunfighter IV Modern Combat Edition (MCE) Pro Joystick if precise gimbal feel and metal-build durability matter more than raw button count, especially for demanding IFR approaches or VR photogrammetry sessions.
The VKB Gunfighter IV MCE Pro wins this comparison outright — its 15.5-point lead reflects real-world advantages in build quality and input precision that most MSFS pilots will feel immediately; buy it.
