Product Information

Expect a more amazing experience for all flight enthusiasts; from fun, plug-and-play gaming all the way to professional, fine-tuned simulation. Not only will the best PC joystick pull you into the experience and give you a level of finite control that a gamepad or a keyboard and mouse can't do. So there's not a huge number of handy buttons, but on the base, there is not only a great deal to make up for it (including ones dedicated to flaps and throttle), but there's also the option to mode switch up to two levels with two functional modes and button shift.

The precise twist handle (for rudder control) includes an 8-way rubber hat switch similar to ones found in real combat aircrafts. But kick in for the full kit, and you can divvy up even more shortcuts to the throttle quadrant module ripped right out of an A320—they got the color spot on, anyways. In space, that three-dimensional control can be vital for accuracy, especially when you're zeroing in behind an escaping Sidewinder in an Elite dogfight. He first started writing for Official PlayStation Magazine and Xbox World many decades ago, then moved onto PC Formatfull-time, then PC Gamer, TechRadar, and T3 among others.The throttle panel also hosts an entire series of metal switches and knobs that look and feel absolutely awesome. Still, there are more than enough buttons, hats, and a trigger for each hand, yet the design somehow doesn't feel overly complicated. There's even space on the front for a chart or checklist, though what looks to be a clamp on the front of the yoke is actually fixed in place—Blu tack it is then. While it does come with suction cups that can be attached to the base for increased stability, without them, I found the stick and throttle far too eager to slip around on my desk.

It's beautifully made, looks like it was ripped straight out of an A-10, and comes with an industrial strength that means the only thing left in our post-apocalyptic future will be a bunch of cockroaches trying to figure out how to use these sticks.

The joystick can also be reconfigured to your liking with a modular design, making this stick particularly friendly to lefties. Mounting the yoke itself is as simple as slipping it over the edge of your desk and doing it up, no drilling necessary, and the throttle quadrant doesn't even require mounting at all if you don't feel like it, though the process is also pretty straightforward. It comes with the much-appreciated feature of Z-rotation, and the electromagnetic sensor tech also means you get accurate and durable movement from the stick and action that feels great in hand.
