GREAT JOYSTICK AT A REASONABLE PRICE

I bought the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro because it was inexpensive ($55) but, also a great joystick with tons of buttons and functions. This is a joystick that would appeal to a "flight simmer" such as me. I program the 9 buttons to perform a certain task such as raising the landing gear or even lowering the flaps. I also like the "4-way hat-switch" you can customly program. One of my favorite things about this joystick is the built-in rudder axis of the joystick. This axis of the jostick does away with the need for expensive rudder pedals, besides it is more easy to learn how to use. Another great part about the joystick is the throttle control. I would have to say that this joystick just about does away with complicated keyboard commands needed for so many of todays games. I recommend this joystick and I have not had any problems or malfunctions with it yet.
