It returns to center better than I ever remember my old X52 did. The dual spring design is also a plus in the twist ( rudder ) part of the Pro. I have had an original CH yoke and I now use the CH Eclipse and CH rudder pedals in my main sim setup in my basement and even though they are great yokes, I can fly more precise with the X52 Pro. The X52 Pro is listed as having twice the sensors and I believe it is true as I have never had the precision that it delivers to my flying. I had a Plain Saitek X52 years ago and one of the Hall Effect Sensors would Intermittently Fail and the stick would not center in roll otherwise it was a good stick.
