I bought this joystick, along with Flight Simulator X, after I attended a summer camp at a local museum and realized how much flight sims were. After searching Amazon, I found the joystick and throttle set they used: the Thrustmaster Cougar, and it cost a whopping $186. Needless to say, I went with the Logitech joystick. I'm quite impressed with it. The buttons are very 'clicky', and it does feel a little cheap, but you get what you pay for. Also, I wish the throttle had more friction, but it's not a big problem. Flight Simulator X auto-configured it when I plugged it in, no drivers required. Highly recommended if you want a good, cheap joystick.
Also, props to Amazon for getting it here so fast. I ordered it Sunday and it got here early on Tuesday. And that isn't with Two-Day Shipping, that's with FREE Super Saver Shipping. :D......
I bought this controller and am quite pleased with it's reaction time and multiple button assignment. I mostly play racing and third-person games with it. It works great with 'Mashed', 'LOTR Return of the King', 'Star Wars: Rogue Squadron', etc. It doesn't lose button functionality quickly through hard-core use. It is for right-handed users only but has a comfortable hand-rest for long game-play time. I've used it practically every day since I bought it and it still is working fine. You may need to clean the gunk 'round the buttons from dirt, grime, or dust ever-so-often but so far it hasn't given me any trouble. I would recommend this controller for beginner gamer's and experts alike. The buttons are in a comfortable formation and easy reach access, especially when trying to press two buttons at once.......
I have owned two of these Joysticks, I have worn them both out. I have used the second one for over 100 hours before it became unusable from lack of response and accuracy.
First we will cover the good points.
-Nice looking Joystick.
-Very Ergonomic for Right-handed players.
-Buttons and Hat are well placed for short, quick movements.
-Throttle is smooth and precise, useful for chopper pilots.
-Stick movement is fairly precise and evenly tensioned in x, y and z axis. (Z Axis is the twist rudder).
Now the important bad points.
-Loses calibration after a short period of time. How much you use it, dictates how soon it loses its precision and accuracy. I noticed it on takeoffs playing Battlefield 2, I would start drifting to one side of the runway requiring some hard rudder to compensate and not crash.
-Button 2, on the thumb rest, stopped producing a sharp click feeling after a few weeks. Important for me, as I used it for dropping bombs/shooting missiles.
Summary: If it wasn't for this losing precision and accuracy issue, I would highly recommend this joystick. But let's face it, when you are on the other guy's six and you want to smoke him with the nose gun, you need a joystick that lets you put the bullets in his tailpipe for more than the first few weeks of use.
I am going to try a Saitek AV8R as a replacement . . .

This stick was purchased to use in a 4-H competition running Microsoft "Flight Simulator". It replaced a Logitech "Extreme" stick purchased several years ago for $60 and did not use USB ports. It performed more accurately, felt "tighter" and had better "feel" than the older one did when it was new. The kids love it and, of course, the AMAZON service made it a pleasure to purchase!......
This is probably the only joystick that really works for Vista 64,I tried other joysticks without success. This joystick also has many programable buttons very usefull for Flight simulator etc. The best joystick hands down. ......
