 Simple and solid November 27, 2008
Simple, reliable, solid. I have used mine for 14 years and it is just now wearing-out and in need of replacement.
Build Quality is Untouchable November 11, 2008
I have owned the same model of joystick ever since it came out over 10 years ago. The build quality is light years ahead of anything else in the market today. Just a great joystick that will not disappoint.
Flightstick works great! October 9, 2008

It's solid, and it does exactly what it's supposed to do. Please note that there is no twist on this stick, so for uses like mine (X-Plane) a separate set of rudder pedals is a must!
best one! June 2, 2008

We heard that this was the best joystick for Flight Simulator and it IS! it works great and makes playing that game so enjoyable.
King of the Basic Joysticks April 27, 2008

I enjoy instrument flying in MS Flight Simulator, so precision is the most important factor for me in a controller. I've tried several joysticks over the years but no other joystick can match the precision and feel of the Flightsick Pro.
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.
