 excellent joystick November 17, 2009
Mark L. Hughes
I read alot of reviews on several joystics for my ps3. Most reviews on this items ranked far better than all of the others. Thanks to those reviews I made the right choice in purchasing this one. It is everything I wanted in a joystick. Buy this one, it is Excellent!!!!!!!!!!

This controller is a duel propuse controler. It works on the PC and the Sony PS. This works nice and plays the games smoothly.
Best Flight Stick I've Had To Date November 16, 2009

My first flight stick (or joystick) was the Microsoft Force Feedback Pro which was a very good stick - it had some 'slop' in it which eventually got so bad that it was no longer tolerable. It was rugged and comfortable to use, but Microsoft quit making them & also quit supporting them in many flight Sims & newer games. I then had two Saitek Cyborg Evo Joysticks. The first one developed a problem after 11 months with little use, when it went out of calibration and the rudder output stuck in 50% left rudder position and couldn't be fixed by recalibration so it was replaced under 1-year warranty. Within 10 months switch #5 quit working on the second or replacement joystick so at this point I decided to look for a different manufacturers joystick because by now I had lost faith in Saitek being able to make a reliable joystick. I am seventy years old and I take good care of my equipment - I don't abuse my joysticks so if they don't last for me I doubt that they would last for anyone. I searched Amazon reading joystick reviews and came across the T-flight Hotas Stick Pc PS3. This joystick had the features I wanted and was rated very high - almost 5 stars even though at the time it had only five reviews - so I ordered it.
This joystick can be used with either a PC or PlayStation 3. It has a PC-PS3 switch so you can select which one you use.
It came with the throttle and joystick separated so I decided to try it this way for a while. I've had this joystick now since the first week in August 2009 and I really like this joystick.
PRO:
1. It comes in two parts, the throttle & joystick, separated by an interconnecting cable approximately 18" between them - but, they can be mounted together as one assembly if desired as the necessary wrench is included and the throttle & joystick are designed to be mounted together as one unit. I like them separated as it is more realistic - with the throttle on my left and the joystick on my right.
2. Very simple to connect to your computer. You connect the joystick to the USB port on your computer via the integral USB cable & connector - that's it! No separate power supply or adapter is required because this joystick gets its power from your computer through the USB cable/connection.
3. No installation CD included or required as once you connect this joystick to your computer it is automatically recognized and calibrated - a plug & play joystick - they don't get any simpler than this!
4. The throttle & joystick are very comfortable to hold & use. Together they have twelve programmable switches which are very easy to use on both the throttle & joystick. There are four programmable switches on the joystick module and eight on the throttle module. The joystick can be twisted left-right for the rudder control - the throttle module has a slider switch which can also be used for rudder control if so desired. Also there is an eight-position hat switch located on top of the joystick - this is normally used for 'looking around' in flight simulator programs. Both modules are quite robust & heavy enough so they don't move around much unless you really give them some pushing around.
5. So far this joystick is performing excellent & a great buy for the money.
CON:
1. None that I know of so far - except maybe it would be nice to have the interconnecting cable between the joystick & throttle modules be longer & have connectors that can be unplugged in case of damage they could be replaced. Also I'd like to be able to move them a little further apart.
UNKNOWN:
1. How long will this last before something goes wrong? Only time will tell.

Very good overall November 5, 2009

I'm using this for Flight Simulator X, I haven't tried it on other games yet.
Some good things:
* No problems using on MS Vista
* It comes with a quickstart guide with default mappings for a few games, including FSX
* Most things are in easy reach
* Stick tension is easily adjustable
* Nice and stable base, including plenty of rubber feet.
* Control is nice and smooth
* Reasonable price
Some negative things (mostly trivial):
* I don't keep the throttle/stick connected, and the cord between the 2 parts is about an inch too short to easily run behind my keyboard.
* One button the on throttle is a little awkward to use; you either have to use the base of your thumb or shift your hand slightly.
* The shape of the base is a somewhat awkward, taking up a little more room than it needs to.
