4.0 out of 5 stars Great joystick with only a few minor problems, February 26, 2005

I bought this joystick to replace my Saitek x45 Digital Flight Stick when I realized at a LAN party that the cords were way to long and messy on the x45. So I decided to go wireless, wireless keyboard and mouse. But I had problems finding a good wireless joystick...until I found this one. Like all the other Saitek joysticks I have owned, the Cyborg Evo Wireless is slick looking and fully customizable. And of course, it's wireless.

Whether you're a righty or a lefty, you can move the butt of the joystick up or down, flip it around, whatever you want to do. You can tilt the head of the joystick one way or another, and you can raise or lower the platform with buttons 2, 3, and 4. But that isn't the end of this thing's customizability. Like all other Saitek joysticks, this comes with their SST smart programming software. You can program one of this joystick's 12 buttons (not including the axes or the hat) to do anything you wish...you can even macro program them!

The joystick performs quite well in gaming situations and doesn't lag or miss a beat at all. The stick feels quite sturdy, although being mostly plastic. Saitek sure does make some sturdy plastics. The stick is able to sustain my beatings of whipping it around when flying my helicopter in Battlefield: Vietnam.

I only have one complaint about this joystick, otherwise I would have given it 5 stars. Every once and a while I get some connectivity issues if I leave the joystick alone for an extended period of time and then come back to it. Since the joystick has an auto-sleep funciton, after it goes to sleep for a long while it loses its lock on the transmitter. But pressing the connect button doesn't solve the problem. I have to take the battery out and put it back in for it to connect. Other than that, however, a very sturdy joystick and definately worth the money, especially if you are looking to remove the clutter from your desk from all those wires.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Thing!, January 25, 2006

I purchased theth Flight Stick for myself for Christmas and have had a blast using it ever since. The manufacturing quality of the unit is excellent and the adjustable grip rests for your hand aids significantly in finding your most comfortable grip. My favorite feature (next to the unit being wireless)is the feel of the unit while in use, especially flying. The twist grip is also very handy for rudder control and has an unexpectedly (rudders are normally operated by your feet) natural feel...great product!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome company, great joystick., June 9, 2005

I bought this joystick a couple of days ago, and as soon as I got it, I set it up and was playing in about 10 minutes. I am always impressed with saitek's products, and it was no dirrerent this time. Works well a good distance away from the reciever, which is smaller than most jumpdrives. And what is even better, the stick base has a built in holder for the reciever. The only thing that i gave this 4 stars for is because it is very light. I wasnt really expecting this, but I think it is something i can get used to. All in all i think this a very well made stick, extremely portable, and looks good too. I highly recommend this stick or any of the other great saitek joysticks.
