Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Cyborg range of sticks, the new Saitek Cyborg X Flight Stick gives you unrivalled adjustability, comfort and performance. The Cyborg X builds on ten years of Cyborg innovation, combining precision engineering, cutting edge design and unique features to offer the ultimate control solution for flight and space games on your PC.

As well as stunning looks, twin throttles and perfectly positioned, programmable controls, the Cyborg X can be adjusted in length and tilt angle (both the stick itself and the head), letting you find the perfect configuration to suit your hand size and seating position. And it even features a folding and removable stick handle for compact, easy storage.

Twin Throttle - control separate engines or assign one throttle to the engine and the other lever to another function such as elevator trim

Tilting head mechanism - tilt the head of the stick to position the buttons exactly where you need them

Adjustable POV hat switch - move the hat switch position in and out to achieve the perfect distance between it and the buttons

Adjustable handle height - increase or decrease the length of the handle to fit your hand size

Adjustable handle angle - position the handle standing straight up or leaning forwards to suit the way you play.

Shift button - doubles up the number of assignable buttons on the Cyborg X when using Saitek's SST Programming software

12 buttons - all your main flying and combat commands at the tip of your fingers

Adjustment tool - stores securely in the stick base.

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Cyborg F.L.Y 5 (Electronics)
This product is absolutly brilliant. Every part of it is ajustable which makes it one of the most comfortable joysticks i have ever used. The Button programming software is easy to use and quick. Flight sim x has never been played like this!!!!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Saitek Cyborg X, 23 Feb 2009
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Cyborg F.L.Y 5 (Electronics)
A curate's egg of a product, good in parts.

The Good

It looks great and has loads of adjustments to suit pretty much any hand or style of play. The buttons (bar one) fall easily to hand and work very well. The twist action (yes it does have one) is probably the best I've come across. The split throttle feels great and can be converted into a single throttle with the press of a button (something that works surprisingly well). Physically it centres extremely well.

The Bad

It's not the most comfortable stick I've used, and that one button mentioned above can be a serious pain if you have to use it often. It takes a fair amount of force to move the stick away from centre, which makes subtle adjustments nigh on impossible. Lack of support at the front means diving too enthusiastically could well mean the stick toppling over.

The Ugly

The supplied adjustment device broke within minutes (an allen key with a plastic handle - a recipe for disaster). The manuals were weak and uninformative. No Mac software (though plug it in and "It just works" as usual). My particular example turned out to be rather lopsided. When I checked it if full left gave -100, full right only gave +85*, which meant I ended up returning it. Also the signal was a little noisy on some of the axes.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a reasonably priced joystick for gaming purposes, this seems a pretty good bet. If you're into more 'serious' simulation (X-Plane, FSX) then look elsewhere. I did and ended up with a Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System (PC) and Saitek Pro Gamer Rudder Pedals (PC), both of which I'm very pleased with (so far).

* I found a similar 'lopsidedness' with the yoke originally but found a cure (eventually) which might apply to this joystick as well. Disconnect from the usb port, reconnect and work the device through its limits four times (right, left, up down etc.). This seems to reset something internally and may solve the problem if it happens to you.

Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This review is from: Cyborg F.L.Y 5 (Electronics)
This is the 1st time that I've used a flight stick (well, since the late 80's that is) and all I can say is that it's fantastic, Saitek have really got there cap on for this one, fully adjustable for all hand sizes and game play styles, plenty of customisable buttons to use. The profile software is really easy to use, and to top it all off, it looks AWESOME!
