Customer Review: Good, but nothing fancy.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always enjoyed flight sims, but I didn't have a joystick. I got the Sidewinder, and it has served me well. It hasn't failed or broken to this date. It is fairly light, but has a wide base, so stability is not an issue. It has only 8 buttons however, which may not be enough for advanced gamers or for true flight sims that have many controls. Also, the lack of instant rudder is a downside. As I recall, setup was painless and haven't needed to bother with reinsatlling drivers or getting tech support. It is comfortable, but i find that after several hours of using it my little finger starts to get sore. Overall, it is a great joystick for a basic gamer. It is reliable and cheap, so if you want a joystick for simple uses, this one is perfect.
