Strengths: Fits pretty much any hand and is adjustable.
Weakness: Haven't come across any yet, and hopefully I don't
I bought this stick due to the price, seemed to have the most features for the money. Aside from buying the X52 =) I needed to get a new stick to play BF2 cause flying is just so much more enjoyable when you have a stick.
Strengths: Very well-built and has many features.
Weakness: None
This is a very good joystick and easy to use. I play it with battlefield 2 nad I simply love it. Perfect for for flying planes. I got lucky by woot.
Strengths: Easy installation and setup. Control setup in the game was a breeze. The joystick feels solid and rests stable on a flat surface. Various adjustments can be made to suit YOUR hand perfectly.
Weakness: You need to install the Saitek software to properly caliberate this joystick.
The Cyborg Evo PC Joystick is another solid product from Saitek. After having previously owned another well-abused (and still surviving) Saitek gamepad, and after reading that the Logitech joystick(s) have a reputation for imminent failure, I went with with the slightly expensive Saitek. The customization features are great - makes it feel like a custom joystick! The controls are smooth and the...
Strengths: Precise control, integrated throttle, plethora of programmable buttons
Weakness: Base is a bit light
I was impressed by this joystick given its relatively inexpensive price. Previously I had been using a Logitech Wingman, and am finding a big improvement in the overall experience I receive when flying in FS9. The integrated throttle in the base is a nice touch. The top hat functions well. The joystick itself has a good amount of resistance but not too much. Everything on this product has a...
Strengths: Lots of buttons, adjustible
This is a great joystick. It has plenty of buttons for just about anything and it's adjustable for left or right hand use. The only bad thing I can think of to say about it is that the buttons make kind of annoying click sound when you push them.
Strengths: --precise control --very small dead zone compared to other joysticks --adjusts to fit your hand --build quality feels very solid --lights up (pleasant surprise)
Weakness: --not quite fully ambidexterous (southpaws will have to remove the wrist rest) --base is wide but still too light (too easy to tip when in the nose-down position) --no force feedback (which i prefer)
upgraded from a microsoft force feedback pro. the difference is definitely noticeable. the microsoft joystick feels very herky-jerky compared to the saitek model. i would urge you to consider joysticks without force feedback effects, like the evo. it is claimed that force feedback offers "that extra bit of immersion", but i find the opposite to be true. the over-the-top effects can often be a...
Strengths: Adjustable handle, good feeling to the joystick.
Weakness: too much plastics, a bit too light
Good joystick for flight sim 2004. I found the throttle location alright, which most other people think is in the way of the handle. Overall, solid gaming joystick for flight sims.
Strengths: Plenty of buttons, fully programmable. Designed for lefties or righties. Nice control. x64 driver support available through website. Nice software included to calibrate and program your joystick.
Weakness: None so far.
This is the first joystick that I have ever purchased. I have nothing else to compare it to at this time. I can say that the joystick handles very nicely and feels very sturdy. There are plenty of button options for your customization. I got this hardware for flying in BF2 and I am still getting used to using it. I look forward to owning the skies on the battlefield very soon.
Strengths: many buttons and can be adjusted to fit any hand
this is the one great joystick i found in the market for such a low price, it has many buttons that can be adjusted to fit any hand, easy to install, it is a grt fun to play BF2 and fly using this awesome device.

Good solid joystick for the price
Strengths: Price; Adaptable for various hand sizes and right/left; Ease of use
Weakness: None that I can see so far
This is a comfortable and very easy to set-up and use joystick at a great price. I love that there are three "screws" in place so you can adjust the height, angles, and placement of the buttons to contour to just about any hand. It's got a lot of buttons and the buttons on the base also light up for easy identification. I was also interested in a wireless unit but if you are looking to save some...
