Thrustmaster USB Flightstick – The only entry-level joystick with a point of view button.Sculpted to comfortably conform to the natural grip of the hand and featuring three action buttons, one trigger and a throttle, the Thrustmaster USB Joystick is an attractive and highly functional yet comparatively inexpensive control device for PC gaming. Whether you’re flying a midnight bombing run over a global hot spot, blazing your way through the dark recesses of outer space or battling bumper to bumper at Indianapolis, the Thrustmaster USB Joystick has you covered, for less than half the price of an average computer game.
Though priced on par with typical entry-level sticks, Thrustmaster’s most affordable joystick features a surprising number of desirable amenities. Pilots in particular will enjoy the unit’s thumb-triggered 8-way toggle switch “hat”, ideal for accessing alternate viewpoints in and around an aircraft. Flyers and drivers alike will love the ergonomic molded grip, convenient palm rest, and multiple button/trigger configuration. The device does not offer tactile force feedback sensations or wireless operation, though it does sport a base-mounted throttle for precise analog control of aircraft speed.
The Thrustmaster USB Joystick is compatible with all Windows-based games and all four of the most recent versions of the Windows operating system (Windows 98, ME, 2000, and XP). Thrustmaster backs the unit with a two-year warranty.

nice features for the price My favorite joystick broke, but I didn’t want to spend $100+ for a new one. Saw this on Amazon and took a chance. Glad I did. Here’s my take: Pros: Good price Nice features: HAT switch and throttle work well Cons: Lightweight base Started creaking after a day. I sprayed a little wd-40 into the shaft, no more creaking (not recommended, by the way).I would have given it 5 stars if the base was heavier and wider. Also the throttle has a short throw. I use this mainly for flight simulation/aerial combat games. Overall a good value.
works fine, great price, some drawbacks (One point that seems to be confusing people…though this is correctly labeled as a 3-axis joystick, the third axis is a small throttle control on the base, *not* twist-control for the rudder)
Superb Joystick! It has been years since I needed a joystick for a Flight Sim – man, the stick sof today are amazing compared what I used to have. Really like the 4 button controls as well as the throttle on the stick!
