Customer Ratings & Reviews

Picked this up to play Elite Dangerous because mouse and keyboard flying is difficult. This joystick is fantastic, I plugged it in and was flying as soon as i booted up the game no configuration needed it worked right out of the box. The throttle is nice and easy to use. This is a great inexpensive joystick for entry into a HOTAS setup.

I have been World of Warplanes and my old worn out joystick would no longer move all the way to the left. I loved the feel of the old stick, but it was time to change. I reviewed a bunch of them and all the reviews said that this was the best for the money. I didn't think I would like it, but figured I would give it a try. I am very impressed. The feel is comfortable, the controls responsive, the base is very well weighted and World of Warplanes recognizes all the buttons and axis's. My in-game scores have increased immensely. If there is one negative, it would be the throttle control that to my mind works backwards. I have to pull it back to increase power where I was more used to forward for power. I am used to it now so not deal breaker, but every time I use it, I still go hmmm. I am very happy with this joystick even though it isn't all that attractive to me.

This is a four-star product for a couple of reasons. Of course it is cheap. In Microsoft flight simulator, it works well enough. Need to set the dead zones so you get the most out of it. For the price, it is excellent. Great beginner flight stick.

I haven't used a joystick in over 15+ Years. A bunch of my friends online picked up Elite Dangerous, and persuaded me to do the same. I wasn't big into Simulators, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Picked up this Joystick after reading the reviews online, have been using it for a couple months now and am absolutely, 100%, happy with my purchase. It's by no means a "top of the line" joystick but it also doesn't cost hundreds of dollars. Key Points: - Definitely does what I need it to do, it was in a great price range. - It has enough buttons for me to get everything I wanted to get keybinded without being overwhelmed. - It's very comfortable and hasn't bothered me after many many non-stop hours of playing. - It's grip on my desk is amazing, for not actually being stickied on. - 10/10 would buy again when I need to replace.

I have never used a joystick prior to my purchase. There are lots buttons on the left side of the stick, but not enough to make my keyboard obsolete when I play Elite Dangerous. I use the buttons on top of the stick, both triggers, and my keyboard. It has a nice weight to it to prevent sliding around too much. I'm glad I purchased this instead of just using a mouse. It's pretty fun to use in dogfights. And no, I'm not Michael Vick. =P

The base is sturdy. The buttons are fine and there are a lot of them. It's compact, cheap, and does everything you need. Wish they made one with force feedback and it would be perfect for the non hard-core.

This joystick is MUCH, MUCH better than I expected when I ordered it online. As should be expected, it controls all 3 axis... .. pitch (dive or climb) .. roll (bank right or left) .. and yaw (turn right or left by turning the joystick) at the base of the is a very well placed throttle control. this control is well made and undoubtedly will last thru much abuse. On the joystick itself, is... ..a trigger (in the normal position) ..a thumb button (readily available to right-handers) (on the top) ..a 'swiggle-stick' ( the joystick often seen on Gameboys or other game controllers) ..4 programmable buttons at the base of the joystick are 6 more programmable buttons (for a total of 12 programmable functions) All the buttons are well marked with numbers (up to '12') for easy use. The base of the joystick is very wide and I have had no problems with instability while using it in some REALLY furious flying.

By far the best budget joystick ever. Has all of the buttons you need, and practically any flight sim you can think of since the 2000's has carved out a section of its inputs specifically for this. It may be nearly 20 years old as a design, but it still holds up perfectly. Compared to other options on here, it may not be the most advanced, but if you just need a joystick without paying a fortune that is reliable and no-nonsense, get this.

I had to replace my force feedback joystick and my online searches led me here it's very responsive, plenty of buttons and works well with my 3 favorite games right now IL-2 , DCS and Flight Sim 2020 best for the money.

Very smooth and plenty of buttons to play around with. 10/10 for me!

So I have recently gotten back into doing a little PC gaming, and needed a joystick for one of the games I play online... war thunder that is.. I've never had problems with logitech stuff so why not get this guy an give it a spin.. haven't been disappointed with it at all, smooth and easy to set up as well as setting up the hot keys/buttons for the game.. best joystick that I've used for PC gaming so far. good price and the quality matches with that I've delt with when using logitech products.

This is a really good stick, especially for the cost. The amount of buttons built in is a plus, and it handles really well. The only part that is slightly annoying is having the thrust on the base of the stick, rather than a separate control. I knew this before purchasing it obviously, and it's not a deal breaker. I would recommend this for someone that needs an inexpensive replacement. It doesn't have the bells and whistles of some more expensive models, but it's a great stick regardless.

I bought the joystick as a replacement for a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro I had used for a few years. My old one finally lost its' Z axis after years of abuse and it was time to replace it. The joystick is a pretty good joystick for the money and, obviously, would buy it again.

This is the best affordable Game stick on the market. I have flown sims for years. And this stick will last you for 3 years before needing to be replaced. The only reason I am replacing my old one is because it is yawing to the left a bit while it should be nuetral on the rudder control. It is 4 years old and was used for at least 3 hours a day

Very happy for the price it works really good and the grip is made very well.

Easy to install and really easy to set up, perfect for first time flying simulator players

This joystick feels comfortable and has more than enough buttons! However, I have heard of problems with this joystick breaking after some use. The twist action in particular. I have lightly used it for a couple months with no problems except having to re calibrate it a couple times. The option to recalibrate isn't too obvious as I had to Google it. If I have no problems with this in the future, I would rate this as a five star product for price, comfort and functionality.

This is a great joystick. I have had many of different styles with many different features and this is a favorite. If your looking for something affordable that encompasses features that are convenient then this is it. Being a real world pilot, the stock setup is great with the ability to inter change setting to suit your flying needs and to place certain functions where they make the most logical sense. All you real world pilots on a budget, come grab one!!

My gaming grandkids love this one! It's solid 12 programmable function buttons. Has a nice weight too. Great value for he money!

great for a starter sim player, smooth controls and high quality materials, great software this joystick is compateble with any game you can think of.
