Customer Review: Wireless, without the hassle. No setup needed in WinXP
Summary: 5 Stars
I like the fact that I can put the batteries in, connect the usb, push a button, and be using the joystick in less than 90 seconds. I don't like installing manufacturer's software and I never register my product, why would you?
Batteries last as long as the 9v does in my smoke alarm. This takes 3 AA batteries, but my point is, it isn't top on my list of things to care about until it is time to change them, when the light turns orange it's time, and unless you bought 99Cent store batteries, you won't feel ripped off if you have to put fresh ones in.
I have used this joystick almost daily for the last year and there isn't one sign of a problem, actually there is really hardly any sign of use at all. It is tight, calibrated, and it works perfectly.
Don't believe people when they say this joystick is a cheap piece of garbage that won't last, it is just not true. It is just as good as similar products at much higher prices. Consider ch products, top of the line rudder pedals, well my toe brake in those went bad because the sliding motion snapped a wire inside, I paid something like $150 and it broke, why? you should have seen how thin that wire was.
My point here is that the quality is at least equal to the more expensive brands, and in my opinion the design is superior, though I would prefer more buttons and a twist lock. But I just disable it and it really doesn't get in the way or twist too easily.
Hey maybe that's the reason there can be two opposite experiences with the same product. I don't use the twist and it is perfect, I wonder if the twist messes something up or stretches a wire to become less functional,like the toe brake broke in my rudder.

Wow this raises many questions, but one thing is certain, you won't be able to judge the quality by reading these reviews, you have to try it yourself.
