I'm reloading old games and needed a joystick. This one had enough good reviews here and on Newegg to give it shot. Turned out Amazon was about $10 cheaper than Newegg so I ordered it from Amazon.I reloaded Starlancer and have been bagging Coalition bad guys at a furious pace.While the throttle isn't in the most convienient location, this joystick does what I bought it for. There are more buttons than I need, but that doesn't bother me. For those who want everything on the stick, this will do fine for you too.
