    Surprising feel of quality. Not a fan of the rudder pedals but the joystick and throttle quadrant feel great.

    Love it. At first it wouldn't work with my OS. I had to upgrade and had no more problems with the software.

    I bought this primarily for use with star citizen. The setup is great and I've had no significant issues at all. My only gripe would be the throttle is a bit sticky feeling at times and there is no indicator on the throttle for when in a zero position. Just have to make small adjustments and watch in game.

    Plug and play. Its a solid starter kit. My only complaint is the lubrication for the rails on the throttle and pedals. Movement isnt as smooth as id like after a few months. Nothing has drifted off center yet, so i havent had to set a deadzone.

    I have used this some for elite dangerous and I have to say it was an amazing experience. It does take time to set up if you don't like the default setting for Elite. You can find setting files that others have used that will help you out. Overall this was a good purchase.

    Bought for use with Elite Dangerous and PC. Setup was straightforward and the software offered a lot of options that I did not really end up fiddling with yet. In game mappings were enough to get up and running. It's a little tricky memorizing the mappings with a VR helmet on but it's doable. The overall feel is a little more plasticky than I had hoped for for the price and the foot pedals are too close together to get a comfortable position so I ended up putting them to the side. it did not detract much as the rotation on the stick allowed for decent yaw control. I would hesitate to buy a lesser setup for a serious dedicated gamer, but a more casual player might save a few bucks elsewhere. If you are really into it saving up for the heavy metal options might be worth it.

    Got this for DCS World and Elite Dangerous and it works great. Lots of buttons on the stick and throttle so you'll have to go through the settings of whatever game/sim you're using to setup but you should be able to map just about everything. Happy with my purchase.

    Great for any flying game. Easy to connect, but need to upload all drivers first. Could use some printed instructions for reference. Mounts should be metal instead of plastic. Good overall value. Would recommend.

    The throttles package was designed well but they do move around a bit too much. The pieces moved smoothly with very minimal travel. A separate USB/RJ11 adapter (sold separately) was needed to properly connect the foot pedals to the computer and communicate effectively. Also, the devices were recognized by Windows 10 but the drivers were generic. You have to go to the manufacturer's website and download the drivers. Yet, they do not have a typical download. No. I had to research, find, and eventually download 3 different packages with mapping diagrams, package software, and then drivers too. They definitely did NOT make it easy to use out of the box. I ended up returning the package because ultimately I just didn't need it after all.

    Great setup for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 -- high quality construction and works great right out of the box. Excellent price from Best Buy! Both of my adult sons also purchased it for the same reason.

    Getting ready to take check ride for private pilot license. Using with X-Plane flying the Cessna 172 SP. My son tuned the settings and it pretty accurate to the real thing. Practicing my maneuvers on less desirable weather days and saving some $$$ vs paying to rent the plane. It has paid for itself several times already.

    Responsive, good button feel, and a balanced return spring on the stick. Best bang for your buck without shopping low tier.

    Stick and thrust controllers beast to setup, while petals were a little more challenging. Flight Sims and space Sims are far more fun to play. Recommended for low to mid price points.

    This kit comes with everything you'd need to get your feet wet playing flight simulators or other flying games. One caveat is that you need to purchase an adapter for the pedals if you want to calibrate those separately from the throttle which is what they plug into normally, overall that doesn't take away from the experience, just a small thing for when you get a bit more advanced. In my experience you don't even need the pedals unless you are flying helicopters or plan to work your way into advanced flight maneuvers, so no big deal. The wide range of button placements is nice and allows for customization. Definitely the best value for the cost.

    This is my first flight controller system. I like the feel of it, but wheel at the end of the thruster handle was very sensitive, and I kept moving it when pushing back and forth on the thruster. Using the pedals was fun, but I had to keep my feet off them because otherwise the sensitivity would make the planes rock right to left too easily when keeping the weight of my legs on them. I returned to the store because the thruster began to stick, and it would not slide as easy as when it was new.

    Very easy to set up, just plug and play. The buttons take some time to learn, but you get used to them after a bit of use. Everything moves very smoothly and easily.
