    For this curious, this is a windows flight stick and isn’t directly compatible with the Xbox lineup of consoles. There appears to be work around but try at your own risk!

    I took the spring out, heated it up to soften it up and put it back. I fly the DCS Apache very fluently with it. I don’t know why this stick gets so much hate. It’s always been a solid reliable performer for me.

      it is a great joystick if you want to spend as little as possible, or you’re just starting flight sims, also it is compatible with almost every game, but it definitely has some issues.
      it has a low resolution, and as i got better at il-2 i noticed that i couldn’t make the small corrections i wanted to. this joystick also has a bit of slop in every direction, so it made it even harder to make small corrections.
      now i have a thrust master t16000, and it was an very noticeable upgrade in terms of build quality, feel (smoother, less slop, more range of motion), and precision, even though it only cost $30 more (used). however, i will be very happy if this ever breaks, because i have a usable backup.

      Supports DCS is a stretch, it takes hella long to load in and I have to run at low graphics. Take 750ti as an example of my budget. You do you though I'm gonna use my money for other things.

    I have used that thing for almost a year now, it feels kinda low quality if you are doing slight movements, it has a big dead zone and the stick feels a bit shaky. Still decent for the price

    Got mine for $1.25 at a thrift store in 2014 and it's served me well ever since. I haven't used it as my main stick for a while, but as a side one for certain aircraft in DCS.

    yo my parents have had one of these things just sitting in our office ever since I can remember. I didn’t know it was this old. It’s awesome to see other copies of it. I didn’t know it was actually a popular thing, and thought it was just some sort of rip off of another thing, although it is logitech. Thanks for sharing.

    I bought a Saitek something from two-thousand-something for flight simming a couple years ago. I was extremely cash strapped but I was missing flying the Huey in DCS. I had originally had an X52 and a Saitek Pro Flight yoke/throttle. But my former brother in law destroyed all three. I had an extreme 3D Pro in the closet, which was fine, but it holds sentimental value and I didn't want to butcher it. So I got the Saitek stick, and just cut the spring off. I could put another one on there but the action was a little sticky. But I cut the spring and used some dielectric grease (same stuff I had used in my Pro Flight yoke) and it became perfect for flying helicopters. Not so great for planes, but there's the fun part. I cannuse the Logitech stick for planes, and it is good enough. And when I want to fly the Huey, I switch to the Saitek. It's a $27 flight sim setup. I bootleg it eve further, becuase I use my T3PM racing pedals as rudder pedals, and my G29 as a throttle and extra buttons. It's a little odd at first but it works and it's far cheaper tha starting from scratch wit dedicated hardware.

    This is a great stick. I have a couple that I've purchased off goodwill over the years for $10. I have an expensive warthog that sits in the closet just because I don't sim as much and I can throw this into a corner when doing other things.
