Top reviews
Top reviews from the United States
There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Primarily, the thing I find most useful is the *extremely* forgiving/elastic "spring" action; the Flightstick requires *very* little effort to move along the extents of it's X and Y axis' and such movement and effort needed to realize it is equally precise and unchanging throughout the full range of either axis' extents. There is no greater or lesser tension depending on where on the axis' you might be passing through. It's ridiculously smooth and even and one finds oneself giving more attention to precision and more subtle movements as opposed to trying to jam the stick back and forth or side to side as things become frenzied in game play. Again, the motion is extremely easy ... in fact, you could play any game/simulator and experience the joysticks complete range of motion on either axis using just one finger placed on the top of the Flightstick; it's literally, *that* effortless in it's motions. Some people might find this disconcerting at first but once you acclimate, you won't look at other joysticks in the same way any more.
Further, this ease of movement allows the base of the joystick to stay firmly planted on the desk...with no lifting of the edges or corners as you make full sweeps of the sticks movement gamut. Since one's movements tend to become more precise and since the motion of the stick is so smooth and spring pressure so consistent throughout the sticks motions, it's very easy to tell when you are at the limits of either axis' movement. A base that moves around and lifts or slides as I attempt to game is one of the most annoying and consistently problematic aspects of just about all other joysticks I've tried. If any portion of the base actually lifts from the surface of your desk (or whatever) then the problem is with your play style and not the Flightstick...as the only thing that could make it lift is violent/fast/sudden jerks of the stick...which, by design of the thing...are obviously not necessary.
It's not a cheap joystick, just speaking monetarily but it's built to last (had one for 10 years before getting another) and as mentioned already...is a near perfect bit of industrial/utlity design.
I've never found any other joystick that I can use (much less remember the make of)...and I've used many.
Oh yeah ... look around Amazon too ... there's usually a "USED" option for much less than the new price.
FYI.
One reason I like the Flightstick Pro is that it's one of the only high-end joysticks that you can use with either hand. The latest flight sims let you pan around the "virtual cockpit" with the mouse, so I prefer to fly with the joystick in my left hand and my mouse in the right. You fly most real-world aircraft with your left hand anyway, another reason I prefer this configuration. Most of the fancier joysticks (including CH Products F-16-styled options) are built for right-hand use only.
The Flightstick Pro works right out of the box, with no need to load drivers or other software--just plug it in and off you go. The base is solid and heavy enough that it doesn't slide around your desk, but it's still compact enough that you can move it off to the side of your desk and not have to worry about storing it when you're doing your regular computing.
Although it lacks the bells and whistles and slick look of other offerings, the Flightstick Pro has a precise, solid feel that is unmatched in any other joystick I've tried. CH Products has a long-standing reputation for quality, and if a basic joystick is what you're looking for I don't think you can top this one.
Only small issue is that I noticed the computer wont go to sleep on its own with it plugged in, but that's not much of an issue at all to me.
There is no rotation in the stick, only x,y movement, so that is something to consider.
The tuning to non movement works very well, and the stick is by default compatible with the Google Earth Flight Simulator.
All buttons are very responsive, and have a good tactile feel to them.
The construction is VERY solid, and the plastic is really high quality stuff. Think LEGO quality. Nothing cheap feeling about this joystick at all.
The cord is way long, which is super useful for how I have it setup on my desk.
Overall a great purchase, as I expect it to last a very long time.
o Feels very solidly built
o Very smooth movement
o Stable, does not move around or tip
Cons:
o A bit on the pricey side
Overall, I am VERY pleased with this joystick. Had some trouble getting it functioning on Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa (based on Ubuntu 14.04.3). but once I stumbled onto the right configuration permutation, it works great. Using it under MESS/MAME to play vintage Apple }{ games, which I was NOT enjoying nearly as much as I did "back in the day", using the paddles, which you can't even find anything similar to those anymore. So, a joystick was the next best thing, and this one will probably last longer than I will, if it lasts as long as the reviews seem to indicate that CH joysticks last. I expect that I will be enjoying this for quite some time.
