Excellent value
I bought this joystick for one purpose, to play Battlefield:1942, and be able to excel at piloting. For that purpose, it is a fantastic joystick. The number of buttons is JUST right, and the throttle has just the right amount of accuracy. There are a few issues with the spring, when you let go of it, it will sometimes spring to a position where it VERY slightly tilts to the side, but a good calibration usually fixes that. For the purpose I bought it for, I cannot recommend any other joystick, but if you are a serious flight-sim enthusiast, I would look elsewhere, such as the Saitek X45 or X52.
