Saitek comes out of the box set up for right-handers it's very easy to adjust any part of the stick. Watch for small parts while you're adjusting the joystick. The adjustment is fairly easy. Every part is secured by a bolt. In order to adjust a part, you'll need to unscrew it, adjust the part, and replace the screw. The joystick components are very well made, with a strong sturdy feel durring play. The shape of the joystick is symmetrical down the middle. Large hands won't be cramped, and small hands won't be stretched. This stick is called "Cyborg 3D" is because it has 3D Twist control like the MS Sidewinder. The stick is connected to the base by a metal spring, which bends as the stick is twisted. The connection cord is around 6 feet long

Recomended: smooth, comfortable and sturdy design. enough buttons with a hat-switch, throttle and R-Z twist axis. Ability to "calibrate" the axis'. nice look look. fair 6' cable length. Should be 10'

I bought this joystick because I didn't want to spend $100 on of that force-feed back joysticks and I'm glad. I'm left handed and when I purchased this I was told that it was one of the few that will switch to fit the left hand. For that alone it disserves props, but it also has a throttle and that makes for great speed control. The point of view hat is great for the WWII game I use; it allows me to check my tail when before I couldn't and that caused many deaths.

I have had this joystick for only a year. It is now not able to be calibrated! It no longer remains stable. I recommend spending the extra money for a really good joystick.
