I Need more Buttons!

[SirBenn21]

I was looking at the Saitek Pro Flight Switch Panel

Does the switches act as keyboard presses or as actual switches?
I would like to add to my X52 PRO and mount it similar to the new X65-F

What you guys think? Is there any other alterative?

Or should I just get the X65-F?

The switch panel has dedicated switches. They are switches (tied to on/off state). Each does exactly what is labeled and cannot be re-assigned. I enjoy using it, especially for cold starts.

The only quirk I have found is the cowl flaps switch. This means the cowl flaps are either closed or full open (unlike some planes which have variable levers).
