Customer Reviews

Does what it says on the tin
Bought this primarily for pc use although I do sneak onto my husbands playstation 3 every now and again. Got 32 bit vista. Works absolutely fine and is wonderfully attuned to Hawx. I've not had a joystick for the pc since I had a 48k Spectrum so I have nothing else to compare it to but I like dogfighting and this is brilliant - even on older space combat games like Darkstar One.
It's larger than I expected but very sturdy and I can't forsee anyone tipping it over. The mode button on the side of the base needs to be set to mode 2 for pc use. It's the only way to fly a plane so I have now banished my dusty old gamepad.

Poor PS3 Controls
Nice looking control, bought the joystick with H.A.W.X and the standard PS3 basic controls are so frustrating to work out on this device. You have to flick a switch from M1 to M2 and back and fourth each time you want to switch from flight mode to PS3 standard control.

I'd recommend that you go for something else. I don't think your going to love this buy. It will be fine for Windows, however Saitek do make much better flight stick controllers than this on...

I'm sure this product will end up in the sales very soon...
