Rating: Summary: delivers what you need for under $20 Review: This is hardly a "deluxe" model, but it's a good stick for under $20. Compared to joysticks costing $30 or more, the WingMan feels like it has too many loose-fitting parts, and the buttons are made from lightweight, cheesy-looking plastic. But it works just fine. This is one of the few sticks I've seen that doesn't squeak or creak; a sort of rubber collar at the base creates an odd but quiet sound. Also this stick doesn't have horizontal and vertical "grooves" -- it feels the same in all directions. I like the firmness of the throttle control which lets you power up your engines smoothly. The base is heavy and stays firmly on the desk. I use it with a Dell Inspiron 4000 running Win2000. Setup was painless -- I just plugged in and calibrated. Oddly, the Windows control panel calls the throttle control a "Z-axis" instead of a "slider." This might cause a problem if your game doesn't allow you to reassign this control.
Rating: Summary: Great Joystick for the Price! Review: This joystick is a great buy! The throttle helps lots during a flight game. This joystick is also good for driving too. The base is nice and big, so the joystick doesn't move around when your playing a computer game. The grip is very good and it's hard to lose it! This definatly is the best joystick in the price range.
Rating: Summary: Compatibility Review: This product is a great controller, and has been compatible so far...However, it does not seem to be compatible with Need For Speed Underground, and I have not yet got a resolution from either Logitech or EA Games.
Rating: Summary: I recommend !!!! Review: This stick is exactly what you need if you are a budding flight sim player this was my first joystick............the reason i say it is good for buddung flight simulator player is that if you are not sure how much money you are willing to spend this is a good start...it lasts long......great positioning of bottuns (except throttle....kinda tricky)....and of course inexpensive......Just one question....from you other gamers.......does the throttle on this stick not work with IL2-sturmovik:Forgotten battles or is something wrong with the joy stick.....?...excuse my over use of periods
