 Perfect Fit September 23, 2009
S. Hagerty (Fort Wayne, IN USA)
I'm certainly no expert or "gamer" but I've used a few joysticks in my day. WWhat I love about this model is it's flexibilty and adjustability. I have a neurological disorder and I'm gradually losing the use of my right arm and hand (and of course I'm right handed). I bought some games for therapy (thats what I told my wife and I'm sticking to it...LOL). I needed a joystick which I could switch between right and left handed depending on how I was doing that particular day. Plus this model has adjustments for the tilt and angle of the head and buttons which makes it really fit well. The throttle is centrally located and the buttons on the base are duplicated on each side to fully complete it's flexibility and ambidextrousness. The force feedback is new to me, but is a really cool option. All-in-all, this is an excellent joystick and an excellent value.

First joystick I have owned. Using mainly for X-Plane, find it's response to be less fluid and precise than I would have expected for hardware in this price category.
 Nice joystick for the price February 2, 2009

Very nice joystick works in XP and Vista.
The only sugestion I have, I would like it better if the throttle control
were placed on either side of the joystick instead of directly to the rear.
Actually Not a Bad Joystick for the $ November 22, 2008

Although there are many options for controlling your flight sim aircraft, this joystick has been a very good choice (for me) especially considering the price (I got mine for less than $50 from Amazon - new). There are more expensive options with more bells and whistles but it all depends on what your willing to spend.
Set-up was straight-forward however I don't like the fact that set-up includes drivers for a mouse and keyboard.
The large null zone in the center - I have not experienced at all. In fact - at least in Flight Sim X the most subtle movements are noticeable in most aircraft. There are some user designed aircraft that the stick is finicky with especially the rudder - so that could be a software quirk. Which also brings up a the point that this stick would definitely benefit from having on board trim controls.
It seems that it really depends which game you're playing as to how much feedback you get. I've noticed the most response in FSX (look out when you crash)! I have yet to try it on X-Plane 9 but I've noticed that its very slight on IL2 right out of the box. I've also noticed that I lose FF in IL2 at times and don't know if its the stick or the software. But it seems the key is to at least have the settings properly adjusted for every game.
Being an actual pilot, the feedback where flaps and gear being deployed as well as air turbulance and touch-downs on landing all work well in FSX and are all very much appreciated. In an actual aircraft scenario, when you raise the flaps, the plane feels as though its sinking slightly and that is the feeling I get with this stick running FSX. I can also feel the difference between the weight of a Cessna and the weight of a P51 when pulling back or otherwise controlling the stick - again with hardly no dead zone at all - very responsive. I have several aircraft models that work extremely well in FSX and I've also downloaded a bunch of junk. The necessary files on some of the user designed aircraft are just not there and it seems that also includes the support for proper force feedback.
Take all these reviews for what they're worth and remember that users really should check their software settings for the joystick and the simulators before they submit their reviews.
