The general problem to get over the middle point is solved with a smooth transition. Good idea to light up at this point. The three buttons on the top seem a bit isolated. The button fields are well done. Very special to offer finally an easy change between right and left hand.

Read lots of reviews for various joysticks in order to play Elite: Dangerous, and this seemed to have what I needed for my budget. It's quite a large controller, larger than I was expecting but this by no means makes it unusable.

With the weighted base, the t-16000 doesn't move. The only "trick" was to get a small night stand, so that I could drop the elevation, relative to my sitting height. Once I did that, operation was smooth and fully functional.

Would i recommend it to others Depends what they're using it for. But probably not. It would be fine as an off hand stick when running in a dual stick flight/space/mech sim. Your off hand usually isn't as precise as your main hand and is often likely to use a bit more force.

It uses high precision hall effect sensors; Has a large movement area; In a joystick test program, this still will reach every corner of the square test area; It has plenty of buttons; Wasn't crazy-expensive; See Other: Good for off hand

-The spring on it is so rigid that it you lose your precision; If you're trying to do some fine aiming in a space fighter, you'll be fighting the spring; I actually had to take a video to show to my friends how rigid the spring was, i could hold the stick sideways in the air and shake it and the...

If you're even mildly interested in driving games then you'll either already own a wheel, or know the benefits that having the right controller can bring to your gaming prowess. Flight simulation games have exactly the same possibilities opened up when you have the correct control method beneath...

Nothing makes a flight or space sim really sing like a hands-on throttle and stick (HOTAS) setup. Thrustmaster's $200 T.1600M FCS Flight Pack combines joystick, throttle and rudder pedals in one lovely entry-level package.

What a huge disappointment this purchase was. I had been looking forward to playing Aces High 3 and spent a full day trying to get the pedals, throttle and joystick to work. I can't explain it but it just wouldn't go with my computer (Asus I7 8 core, 16 mb, GTX Geforce 960).

It's ok it seems it was for my son

The precision of control is excellent. The ability to set up for left hand is awesome (I use joystick in left hand and Logitech G602 mouse in right hand). My problem with this joystick is that it only has 4 buttons on the stick and some of the buttons on the base were obviously made for someone with...

Got it as a BD present from my wife. It feels great. It's a clear improvement over my old X52 pro, even if it looks a bit cheaper. The throttle however could have been a bit more smooth.
