3.0 out of 5 stars Thrustmaster USB Joystick (PC) 24 Jan 2010

By JerryO

Amazon Verified Purchase

Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars

Simple basic joystick, worked straight out of the box with my Windows 7 computer. If you intend to play a lot of games I'd suggest something with more buttons etc but this one's fine for most things.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does what is says on the tin for a great price 2 Dec 2010

By Simon Smith

Amazon Verified Purchase

I don't do games really but recently had a go with the excellent open source flight simulator "FlightGear". Frustrated with keyboard control I thought I would try a joystick. Not wanting to spend �20+ this one seemed cheap and cheerful.

Usual rapid delivery from Amazon (free too) and the joystick was unpacked and stuck into an XP machine and recognised straight away. Seems large and sturdy and had a nice feel (though I have nothing to compare it with). Works great as a joystick (although no rudder control until I can map some of the buttons correctly) and a nice throttle.

If you want force-feedback, vibration and hundreds of buttons then this may not be for you but then you will need much deeper pockets. For the price it deserves 5*

4.0 out of 5 stars Good basic joystick 26 Mar 2010

By Mr. George M. Skinner

Amazon Verified Purchase

Fun: 4.0 out of 5 stars

Bought this joystick for use with Microsoft Flight Simulator (Deluxe Edition). I am running on Windows XP and have found the joystick good. There are 4 buttons, which is useful, mine automatically downloaded onto 1. view around, 2. trigger for brakes, 3 and 4 control levelling of plane in flight. The actual stick is quite sensitive so you have to be careful not to move too rapidly and too far. It has a good base so I have found it sturdy. It is made of plastic so I cannot comment on how long it will last but for the price it is fine, always assuming you want a basic controller.
