when i saw this on amazon and saw it was for ps3 i immediatly thought will it work on hawx the new tom clancy flying game. i took the risk of spendin £30 and am pleased to say that it does work. it is comfortable, the buttons are easy to find and the throttle can be detatched for a more realistic feel. i havnt tried it for pc yet but i am certain it will work fine for flight simulator x if it works for hawx. installation was a breeze as well as all you have to do is plug it in. a great buy and highley recommended for flight enthusiats like my self.
Hardware Heaven on a budget... April 12, 2009

Okay, look, it may not have multi-function displays, LEDs all over the shop and millimetre perfect deadzones but for the price, this is a blippin good buy.
I bought it for the PS3 and H.A.W.X and it worked straight outta the box.
For kids, having the unit in piece is okay butfor people with larger armspans, you will inevitably find youself splitting the unit apart to make it more comfortable.
The connecting cable is just long enough to enable the throttle and joystick to sit either side of you (or, in my case, the joystick tween my knees, throttle on my left and Top Gun music playing the background.)
In playing games, you'll find that joystick deadzone is a touch too large for my liking (just my personal preference folks!) and prevents hyper-accurate course changes but the general responsiveness is quick and you'll be fine once you've gotten the feel for it.
The thottle is meaty, however, and the rudder triggers built into it are v. nice and, for me, prefereable to joystick twisting
Theres a whole bunch of mapping/preset options for the controller but with only two buttons and no display to work with, this is an exercise in patience and luck some of the time.
So, in conclusion? There is no reason NOT to buy this bit of kit if you're buying on a budget. It looks great, it feels great and it plays great.
If your serious about Flight Sims and your controller and willing to spend a bit more money then there are more technically advanced bits of kit out there but for the price, you really cant go wrong with this baby.
 Good value and great for FSX June 25, 2009

Having looked around for a joystick for fsx for quite a while including a few from Saitek and Logitech, I finally came across this one.
I decided to give it a go seeing as there isn't really another hotas alternative for this price. In use it literally needs no installation after plugging it in, and it was already preset for fsx. I had a slight niggle with the stick squeaking, but this appears to have sorted itself out after a bit more use.
The buttons are well placed and the stick is responsive. Overall I can't fault the stick other than the initial squeaking (that might not even happen with other ones!), so if you're having a hard time choosing, I'd recommend this one.
Great value for money October 14, 2009

Excellent stick for the money but dont expect uber quality from a budget stick!
I will start with the bad points... There is a little bit of a deadzone but it is so tiny as not to be a bother. The throttle is very light but you can still move it accurately and its not so light that you will move it when pressing the buttons. When using the stick as separated throttle/control units they are simply too light and the lack of suction cups means that the stick will slide and twist making it a bit annoying to use in this way. The cable that joins them is long enough to stretch across a computer desk but no more. The plastics are cheap, but what do you expect?
The good points... This is much more accurate than my old logitech, very easy to control FSX, it has 12 buttons so you spend less time on the keyboard. You can lock the stick twist and assign rudder control to an analogue rocker type switch on the back of the throttle which makes for very accurate rudder control. It is comfortable to hold. The digital hat switch is very smooth in my fsx virtual cockpit, you barely notice it is digital! You can adjust the resistance of the stick. It looks quite nice despite the cheap plastic. It is light but sturdy enough even on a smooth wooden desk (but only when used as a single unit).It also represents very good value for money.
After 3 weeks of using the stick i am still impressed with it and i would recommend it to a friend. If only for the addition of suction cups and a stiffer throttle i would have given it a 5.
