This joystick is terrible. I bought it primarily for Fighter Ace II and so far I have gone through 2 and the the third is in the mail. Apparently they have some sort of design problem where the rudder control actually breaks! This is not a software issue. While Gravis' customer service has been very happy to keep sending me replacements, enough is enough. I would highly recommend purchasing another controller.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Product, Bad Configuration Software, April 11, 2001

This review is from: Gravis Eliminator Precision Pro Joystick (PC/USB Mac) (Personal Computers)

I got this joystick for Chirstmas. It came bundled with Fly2k (a great Flight Sim). The stick is of good quality and is well supported by the OS and by games(I use in with WinME). It's precision control feature is really nice. However, I tried to use the XZ axis(twist) control for rudder control in Fly2k, and it was backwards. I tried to use Gravis' control software, which said that it reversed the directions, but this did not solve the problem. Gravis does not have a solution yet, and no software updates have solved the problem. This is a fine product that cannot be used to it's full potential due to poor quality software.

I've had lots of problems with it too. I also have had two, I'm on the second right now. It worked fine at first, then the rudder control... ermm.. "freezes" in one position.. not physically.. but whenever you go into a game, the rudder is constantly "pulled" one way.. only way to fix it is to disable it in the game.. I played like that with the first one for a while, then it broke.. I mean the stick broke off the rest.. kind of annoying. The same rudder problem has just started occuring on my new one now. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone.
