      Since moving to Cougar, I miss the zoom slider my x52 pro had

      I am going to try one of these https://palettegear.com/ and see how well it works, and post results.

      Anybody else add an axis or slider, or used the above?

        Wow, real beautiful stuff. Just a bit pricy (for me).

          you can just get the slider or dial, alone

            Follow up……

            Installed, and have flown with it.

            Now, have a great zoom ability on my left hand.

            1 slider, 1 dial/button, 2 buttons…

            works great.

              That palette gear is too end kit for the graphics art crowd primarily. $200 for the entry level option.

              I use a $58 Saitek 3 lever throttle quadrant that I can map to anything I want. Zoom, gear, hook, flaps, etc.

                I did see that in my quest.

                But the ability to use just my left thumb like the microstick, was worth it to me……

                they may seem pricey, but they are small form factor quality pieces…
