This joystick is the best joystick I have seen. I originally bought a Microsoft Sidewinder and it was horrible! I couldn't get that to work at all. But this stick works sweet. I can play all my games, such as FS2000 and Daytona. I did experience some calibration problems at first, but if you fool around with the knobs on the base, then you should be in control in no time. It is a good stick and it works on my new PC with Windows XP as well as my old PC with Windows 98. My recommendation is that you get this one. It is worth the money!

This is a good performance joystick at a very low price. I have seen the other reviews and I think you should try a detection program so your comp. can pick up the new hardware. I found that it was up and running when I started to play Descent 2, anf various Flight Simulator programs. So don't be fooled this is a GREAT joystick at an affordable price.

I originally bought this stick with the intention of taking it to college in order to help me blow off tension. There's something gratifying about perforating a big ugly when you've had a long day of studying, typing and sitting in class. The first thing I noticed about this product was the fact that, unlike most controllers under $30, the transition between x and y axis was smooth. If you don't know what I mean, its the little bump you feel as you shift directions from the vertical to the horizontal. Its rare to find that this is minimized in a low cost stick. The pressure is light but substantial enought to make every movement deliberate. For action games this is essential. I tried it out on Independence War and on the online demo for Star Wars: Episode I. It performed admirably in both. Definately a must for flight sims and 3D shooters. The only reason I didn't see fit to give the fifth star out for this category is that I had to do some scratching to get Win 98 to not switch the first and second buttons. For some reason it swapped them. Other than that, this is probably what you're looking for if you're a casual gamer like me. It does the job and does it very well, indeed. I would rank this at the top of the mid-priced game controllers.

Using with MS Flight Sim 2002 smoth and accurate much better than the ... Gravis I had with the same program. Full control and buttons programmble on th ebase adn trigger. Very Good for such a low price big companies should pay attection - found it at CNET as a highly recommended Joystick against high priced models it is true. Great Value! Shhhh...!

This controller is garbage; do not buy it. As you can see from the reviews here, it appears that about 2 out of every 9 or 10 actually work. Not exactly the greatest odds. And it wouldn't surprise me if the positive reviews were written by people who work for Performance, the makers of the piece of junk. I've tried everything from detection programs to various hardware, to simply following the instructions that were included with the joystick. NOTHING WORKS. A waste of money, it is not compatible at all with Windows 98. And since that's the program most people have, I would definitely advise that you stay away from this controller. It will not work without certain hardware, and I agree with the other reviewer about checking out Driverguide's message boards. There are hundreds of people looking for hardware that will make this thing work, and no one seems to have it. Try using something made by a better company, like Sony or Microsoft.

I have already exchanged this joystick twice. It doesn't work with standard Windows 98 drivers, and it doesn't come with any software. Visit DriverGuide message boards for more unhappy customers.

I have used this joystick on fls98...no problem i just wish it had a rutter contol...well you get what u pay for..i since gave it to a buddy who cant not get this thing to work..it just locks up when he uses it with fls98, his system crashes it a mess....I have up graded to microsoft percision pro 2......wow what a joystick...work outstanding with all games.....................hope this was helpful

It doesn't work at all. I assume I have gotten a lemon, according to the reviews, at least one of these things works.

Not happy with product. cannot calibrate properly. will not adjust-unable to play games since day one. No control- no fun- disappointing.

I bought this Joystick thinkin that it would work for my computer, and It wouldn't I wasnt't even compatible with my computer. Don't Waste your money, because it may not work for your computer either
