    • Great joystick
    • A Throttle Quadrant and a Joystick.
    • Best joystick I've ever used, and it's giving my pinkie a hell of a workout trying to operate that red button on the throttle
    • You want the best joysticks for your fligh sim PC
    • The joystick itself FEELS amazing, and there is no comparison between the experience of using it vs. other joysticks such as the Saitek or CH.
    • Best joystick I've ever used
    • Best joystick I have ever
    • Having been a flight simulator enthusiast for nearly 20 years, I finally made the decision to stop buying cheap joysticks that only last a year or two and get something with higher quality and features.
    • I've had other joysticks before, like Logitech and Saitek, but the build quality of the Warthog is just phenomenal
    • The throttle worked but the joystick didn't
    • While being very inexpensive and a good interim joystick, it tended to stick ever so slightly off center, its movement was not very precise, and it felt muddy
    • You could literally use the joystick to build a house and it would still work
    • I was able to completely calibrate the flight axes on both the throttle quadrant and the joystick
    • Best joystick i ever play.
    • I actually like the joystick, but it isn't as strong, nor as precise, as you'd expect given the price.
    • I saw someone complain about this not being a good gaming joystick
    • Now, the Warthog is a very stiff joystick
    • Very nice Joystick, solid as a rock and doesn't feel like cheap at all, unlike some other stick's I've own in the past
    • Great joystick and throttle, when it works
    • My preferred joystick of the last 8 years has been a MS Force Feedback 2
    • This is probably the most awesome joystick I have ever owned
    • The joystick is so smooth and solid (it's heavy!
    • The throttle worked but the joystick didn't
    • The best joystick ever,period.
    • The spring on the cougar was so stiff that I ended up with an arm ache after an intense session using that joystick
    • and they should have a program to update the drivers other then that it a great joystick and throttle very much worth the money
    • I mainly fly choppers (DCS World, Dreamfoil X-plane 10 etc.), and as such, getting a proper joystick has been bit of a hassle
    • My joystick broke a few months back and after all of that they still haven't decided to give me a new one like they should with my warranty
    • Best joystick ever
    • And this one is by far the best Joystick and throttle
    • This is probably the most solid joystick I've ever seen
    • PROS:built qualityprecisionTARGET programming is amazing powerful and versatileMetalweight makes it stable it won't moveprogrammable, upgradable, modable, fixableIve made my mind that this is a project, not a toyCONS:some buttons feel flimsy, i.e. mic push in and cursor.afterburner detent is heavy to pass through, i mapped the LEDs to show the AB / MIL threshold and removed the detent.unless you use the ergonomics of a real plane (side-stick or center mounted) you will get physically tired.some design choices that i would have done different: allen wrench embeddable to the throttle base, one more rotary, leds in a different location around the base,overall its the best joystick I've ever had, and for sure will have for a long time.
    • The construction is top quality, heavy joystick, and real toggle switches
    • Yeah that wouldn't be sticking to a true replica, but a crucial feature in a good joystick
    • First, this is a toy, and an expensive toy, but that written it seems reasonably well made and certainly has a feel, and sense of quality that is well beyond any cheaper plastic joystick.
    • However, the joystick has a major issue
    • I really think its the best PC game joystick ever, You never feel anythikng like this playing with it, and I strongly advice you to spend this much money for the best item in the sort
    • This is a step that I am *not* comfortable with as I have little experience gutting and repairing pieces of hardware, and not something I expected to have to do when I purchased the most expensive joystick on the planet
    • And there is rotten support - I am out a bunch of money and still have to find a decent Joystick for my Son's Christmas present.
    • Amazing joystick, no better than this one and great service by Amazon, no regrets
    • I purchased it because all the reviews I read indicated it as the best joystick ever.... and they are all correct !!
    • I've had good CH, Saitek and numerous cheap joysticks, but this is in a class of its own.
    • The best joystick I've ever had
    • I've always had the cheap $30 joysticks you can pick up at Best-buy off the shelf.
    • , I well tell I got for two reasons
    • It can be pretty simple when using the GUI version, or very complex when using the script version which offer C like operands and even stuff like bit shifting.
