Still one of the best joysticks out there! software although outdated still works with windows 10. number of programable functions is crazy. I bought this to replace a CH Products 568 combat stick, which I have used for more than 20 years , I think that says a lot for product durability! Funny part is the 568 still works great , the F16 stick just has 2 more 4 way switches ! I use it for several different flight sims and combined with the CH Pro Throttle and CH rudder pedals , it all works great for IL2 and DCS and X-Plane .

I have tried many other flight stick before I purchased this one. This flight stick is by far the best I have ever tried. It's a different feel with the lateral movements instead of a ball and socket approach like many flight sticks have but it didn't take any time at all to get used to. The software is old school windows xp style but is actually very powerful once you understand it. I would highly recommend this flight stick to anyone playing Star Citizen or and other flight sim type game.

This is a simple review for a simple product. If you want a flight stick for your games that doesn't let you down then this is the one. It's boring looking and an old design and completely devoid of flashy graphics. Even the LED's are just old school basic design. But while other stick manufacturers use cheap plastics like styrene this is made out of FRP (Fiber reinforce plastic). The same stuff they use for their industrial products. If you crack it open you'll find all of the pots and switches are oversized and easily replaced. Even the USB cable is oversized and reinforced.The stick is a bit big and the hats are well spread out so sometimes if you have small hands you have to reach but the other side of the coin is that it's very rare to activate a control by mistake. I know gamers who have had these devices for decades. They don't use encoders but the pots don't seem to wear out.The eight bit resolution can be noisy but I don't seem to have any trouble in practice with the sims I play. This is the best. Just buy it.Read full review

Absolute top quality. The buttons and hats are some of the crispest you'll find in a joystick of any price and this stick is famously long lasting. They don't wear out because they're built with quality parts inside, unlike some of the (more expensive) competition. The gimbal is a point of contention, though. It works to my benefit in some things (Steel Beasts Pro) but is a detriment in other applications (flight sims). That's not saying that you can't use this for flight sims, only that it's not the best for that. If you need x/y axis precision, you probably should look elsewhere. As long as you understand what you're buying, you won't be disappointed.

Great hardware at a great price. Getting back into flight sims and these were the perfect upgrade from my single joystick. The throttle in particular made a world of difference. If you had to go with something between that and pedals I'd pick that. The seller was awesome throughout. Let me know about everything all along the way. Took a bit with USPS but that was to be expected and it arrived in one piece. It was packaged about as thorough as I've ever seen. I could have kicked it up my to my apartment and it probably would have been fine. They work great and no complaints!
