"Cheap and chearful..." (2008-08-19)

Is this a super mega flight stick with a zillion options and roller coaster pneumatic drill feedback? No.Is this a "value" joystick with a least a few potentially programmable functions, including a throttle option? Yes.For under £10 this stick is very good value. My one works, and some weeks later is still working; as it should. I bought it to play a bargain X2: The Threat I picked up recently. Works fine.Now if I could just figure out a way to play Privateer 2 on WinXP with this sort of stick, I'd be a happy bunnie!

Cheap. Chearful. Good Buy (2008-07-14)

Good all roundGood with Flight Simulator however you can feel the quality against price.A very very good Joystick for the price!

Great product! I use this with FS2002 and have had no problems, cant ask for better for that price

A good value decent joystick (2007-02-19)

I wanted a cheap (under £[...]) joystick to use to practise my flying, reasoning that the yokes (CH Products basically monopolise them) were way too expensive (£[...]) for me. After all, as long as it is sensitive to small differences in movement (as opposed to a keyboard) I reasoned, it would be just as useful.I did find that it worked very well, and that I could do some useful practice - have you ever tried Flight Simulator with just a keyboard? I chose this joystick above other ones mainly because, in the specific price range, it was the only one I saw with a specific throttle control on the side. This was just as useful as I hoped it would be, indeed more so - very useful for precise adjustments during landings etc.Something that I wasn't quite sure about from Amazon was whether it was USB or not - but indeed it is.Extra stuff: - It has a thingy on the top, where the thumb would go, which I think you can move in 8 directions. It's useful for looking round the cockpit (lookout etc.). Also has three other thumb buttons, and a trigger button, all of which work as well as you would expect.The actual movement of the joystick itself is quite smooth, although you can feel slight irregularities between moving it left or down and left, hard to explain though! Certainly nothing impeding performance.Another thing I was worried about before it arrived was the stability of the base, as I had had a joystick before which fell over when you pushed it and had non-working sucker pads on the bottom. Fortunately, instead of sucker pads, this just relies on a firm stable base, and it's quite difficult to pull it over by accident.All in all, very good, especially the throttle control!
