"A quality product"
5 stars"

Bought this to replace an old Microsoft stick that had literally worn out and am very pleased with the purchase.

The build quality is excellent with a solid heavy base meaning “drift” just does not occur even in those intense moments. The spring is perfect in its tension (although a few reviewers do complain it is stiff) and performs smoothly leading to good precise control. The ergonomics suit my hand very well and this is actually one of the most comfortable sticks I have used. The buttons are well layed out with plenty of them available making programming for BF2 (which has a fair few controls to map for the flying beasts) a snap. The logitech profile software is robust and easy to use. The buttons have a bit of a lightweight feel but their tactile response is good with a nice “click” to it so you know when it has engaged.

Overall I give it a high “score” and for those who do not want to spend a fortune but want good quality this stick is well worth a look. The current special instore makes this a good buy for that young gamer of yours this Christmas or even for yourself. With a whole new crop of racers due out soon buying a decent stick that is completely compatible with todays XP and backed up by a company like Logitech makes sense if like me you have been using your current stick for a number of years and it's getting a little sad and sloppy.

"Excellent choice for Flight Simulation Enthusiasts!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick is an excellent choice for Flight Simulation Enthusiasts. The joystick itself is comfortable to use with easy to reach buttons (though you do need to use your other hand to use the buttons on the base. The base is also quite solid and keeps the joystick in position whilst in use. The movement of the joystick is very good and has excellent levels of sensitivity. I would definitely recommend this to others!

"Great Model"
4 stars"

This was the first joystick I bought, and it's pretty good. The twist handle is great – assign it to the rudder, and you can control everything without the keyboard. I use it mainly for games like Battlefield 1942/V/2, and it is so much better to control than mouse/keyboard. The actual movement of the stick itself is pretty sweet – its not loose like cheap ones, but not so tight that you cant make minor adjustments in game – about right. The extra buttons on the base are good as well – use your right hand on the stick, and the left hand controlling throttle and 6 buttons.

"Very solid and stable"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This was the first Joystick I've ever bought since the old school one I had that came with our families original Compaq pre-built PC way back in the 90's.

That aside, this joystick is definitely worth purchasing:

  • Very solid build (no loose buttons or switches)
  • Very solid, hefty base (not too heavy). Excellent as this makes the joystick stay in one place if you're in a hefty dogfight
  • All buttons are in a nice and comfortable position on the joystick, nothing feels awkward to press

"A great Joystick for the price."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a great Joystick for the price. It has buttons for days and a yaw axis. Only problem is that the throttle is a bit loose :)

Provides good tight turning in BF3. End up getting pretty dizzy in those air fights though :)

"Value for money"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For the cost it's a pretty reasonable joystick. Its fairly solid has a good feel and won't move a round. Only drawback is the throttle lever is really loose and doesn't feel great.

"Works like it says on the box. Twist is really natural to use."
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Well built, well made, needs more weighting though. The buttons need clearer labelling and the overall design lacks more comfortable rubber grips, since there are mould lines on the plastic, and can become quite biting after extended use. Great if you don't use pedals and a throttle stick or don't have the budget for them, but remember that you can't use this effectively with one hand given the buttons on the side and the throttle's lo­cation.

Would recommend for the price range, easily beats out anything in this range, but nowhere near the comfort or the accuracy of the higher end ones, but they don't have a twisting stick that is quite natural as you bank and compensate with rudder or tail collective.

"Great controller"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Was looking for a simple not too fancy controller for MS FSX. This does the trick! feels good in hand, good control, easy to use. If you want to use a flight sim casually this is the way to go!

"These are the best"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Had one during the flight sim x days that lasted years but it’s got wear and tear on it so in need of a new one I just ordered for the new flight sim

"Fantastic, lasting me 2 years and still going"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Although the plastic feel might put you off at first, it's actually really solid. This thing is used extensively by me in a space flight sim (Star Citizen) and feels just as New as when I bought it. Excellent quality imo

"Awesome device"

Purchased on Mighty Ape

The joystick is smooth and looks fantastic! It works well with all of the flying simulation games that I enjoy, and can be used for other programmes with a straight forward setup.

"Good Joystick for Amature Flight Simulator"
5 stars"

This is a good joystick to start off in the world of Flight Simulator it is a simple Joystick what has all what u need to have to fly with out the keyboard. I love this joystick cause it is able to handle a trashing and still works great.

"Does what it advertises"

Takes some time to get used to the feel of it and most of my troubles with it are my fault (control schemes, sensitivity etc) but it does its job.

"Best under a budget"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great value for great performance 10/10 would buy again

"Quality sound but flimsy frame"
2 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

This is a very nice headset to have but unfortunately I wouldn't recommend it over some other headsets for the same price. The surround sound in this headset is a 9/10 for me, but the flimsy plastic frame holding it together and the cable let it down. I've had my P11's for about a year, and are completely letting me down now.
