Review: It's the REAL deal - I have gone through the cheaper (flimsey, loose, plastic) flight sticks/throttle control devices and when I bought the F16-C Viper offered for DCS World, I bit the bullet and purchased this flight stick. This product is packaged very well, and the construction is not cheap and flimsy at all. It was plug and play, no problems at all on Windows 11. It just worked. There is quite a bit of mapping to do if you want to fly using DCS World. There are about 21 or more buttons that need to be mapped to functions for the aircraft you are using. I would definitely recommend this flight stick. Review: Rock solid piece of kit - awesome!! - This thing is a beast. You are definitely getting what you paid for. It's quality built and the grip is steel - I was expecting a heavy duty plastic. It's heavy too - if you don't use it for flight sims, you could always defend your home with it as a club. The buttons are well placed and function smoothly. Stick movement is fluid and worked great for me with DCS, IL2 and Elite Dangerous. I only have two issues - 1st, (which is all on me) is that my last stick had a twist function; this one does not- just a heads up. 2nd - (this is all on my wife) - 1st stage trigger pull has a high pitch click which at times drives my wife nuts. I picked this up with the TMWH magnetic base and I couldn't be happier. If you have a the means, I highly recommend it.

Awesome joystick
Extremely well made, smooth and realistic, and in my opinion, the best on the market.

Highly recommended
Wow best quality
P**.
It functions great but the pins on the bottom for connecting to the base are weak.
The joystick itself is excellent, but the pins they use to connect it to the base are weak and very easy to bend. This can make your joystick unusable if you do not know how to repair the pins (which fortunately we could as electronics engineers). If you are wondering how the pins could get bent, the answer is that in a battle, the player could twist the stick which could make the connection loose and possibly bend the pins. It really does not make sense to use this weak array of pins when much better connections would be possible such as USB from the stick to the base. USB would provide a single stronger connection point that is easier to repair or replace if it gets damaged.
