Good Points
Many Programmable Buttons
Easy to use software
Durable build
Cheap for a HOTAS Controller (£50)
Sensitivity is adjustable to allow for the tinyest of movments to be effective
Bad Points
Colour, a strange metalic blue base.
General Comments
This is a proffessioanally made HOTAS(c) Controller. It has many programmable buttons and hat switches on both the Joystick and Throttle.
The Saitek programming packaged is easy to use and there is a graphical display of the controller enabling you to tell what button you are trying to assign a command to.
The joystick itself is so sensitive if you with that even the slightest of movments is actions perfecly.
I have had this controller for 3 weeks now and have even programmed it to replace my mouse for operations in games such as Unreal Tournament 2003 and Medal Of Honor. This is a must have for any gamer that is serious about flight sims. - http://www.saitek.co.uk
