As a positive, I feel still the cordless advantages of this model. But to avoid being plagued by empty batteries, the purchase of 6 Rechargeable batteries for by rotating is recommended.
The joystick is very good in the hand and with the enormous number of keys, you can already replace almost the keyboard.
Negative me but the wear is noticed, after a year of joystick already started with me to be highly inaccurate and I had partly to keep, so that my flight does not drift sideways. On the net I've been searching for a solution and the customer support was unable to help me, this drew my attention only to the fact that the joystick itself would calibrate. Because when the price of the joystick also nothing has changed, (even today hardly) came a new purchase is not in question. So I used it just continue, but after a total of 3 years, after buying the stove was made final and everything was unplayable with the Jostick. I put my flying a time being in order before trying it a few months later but again. But since I (thankfully!) Had lost my driver CD and was cut off at the time of power, I tried the Windows driver ... and damn! with this I could my joystick without problems calibrating (so simple, I could have cried, after a long fumble)! Also every single key has been recognized and I was able to control my plane as beautiful as shortly after buying again.
From me there at the end so a strong buy recommendation to use the urgent notice, yes "NOT" the supplied drivers.
