So we plugged in the side panel and jumped into the persistent universe.Р”Р„fter about 15 minutes of futzing with the presets, we had full control of our landing gear, our cargo scoop and external ship lights. The spacefaring game features presets for both of Saitek's most popular joysticks, the X52 and the X55. Another famously good Saitek integration is Elite: Dangerous. To test how intuitive the controls were, the first person to try the device was my five-year-old daughter.Р”В«ut we didn't stop the testing there. By the end of the week, she was round-baleing hay like a pro, all thanks to how easy to use the Saitek Heavy Equipment PCS is. In about 20 minutes she had all the lights turned on her big blue tractor - front lights, rear lights and both yellow cherry lights on top - and was having one hell of a time. Throughout her short life, my daughter has seen more than her fair share of tractors and combines, so I plopped her down at my desk, put a box under the pedals so she could reach them, started up the tutorials and told her to go plant some canola. There's a cornfield 50 feet away outside my office window. To test how intuitive the controls were, the first person to try the device was my five-year-old daughter. Well actually, I wasn't the first one to give it a try.

There was virtually no nonsense - no drivers to manually install, no calibration to do and no buttons to configuration.

We simply attached the devices via USB to a Windows 10 PC, installed the software through Steam and started farming. If that weren't enough, there's also an analog wheel for the throttle and a fully functional, short-throw, three-axis joystick called a 'loader stick' for controlling complex equipment like logging machines.Р”В«oth the wheel and the side panel are fully integrated into Farming Simulator 2015 Gold, which Saitek provided for Polygon along with the review unit. It sports an array of 24 buttons and accessories, including 16 round buttons and seven faux rocker switches. The unique item, however, is the side panel. It's a bit small as suicide knobs go at around an inch in diameter, but it is particularly well made and features inlaid brass fittings for the attachment screws so they won't strip out over time. There's also a suicide knob, which fans of the Euro Truck Simulator series should be pretty excited about. What this configuration means is that without taking your hands off the wheel you have everything you need for first-person shooter style control of your in-game character. Alongside each of those are eight controller-sized buttons, and on the back of the wheel are two paddle-sized buttons. First, it's placed two proper analog thumbsticks right where your hands should go at the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions.

But once I got my hands on it, it was clear that Saitek made some very clever design decisions. At first glance, the wheel and pedal set doesn't really seem to be anything special.
