"Pretty good for its price but lacks sensitivity"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The Saitek ST90 Joystick is overall a good joystick for low-mid range gamers. Its low price reflects its average quality.

When I first received this item I was pleased to see that it was a portable, easy to assemble and stylish looking joystick. However when i started to play fast paced games with it, i found it to be lacking in sensitivity. I found it very difficult to navigate around the gameworld without making very deliberate or sudden pushes and pulls of the joystick.

I also found that there were very few buttons on the joystick with which to assign specific functions to.

Something good about this joystick however is that it is ergonomically designed and fits the hand perfectly. It is very comfortable even after hours of gameplay and It is even designed for both right and left handed users.

Pros: *Low Price *Portable and compact *Comfortable *Both for left and right handed users

Cons: *Lack of sensitivity *Not many buttons *Cannot twist *Very inaccurate and unresponsive at times *Of average quality

Overall if you are not going to be using this joystick for fast paced games, i would recommend this joystick; as the price is actually very good if you are on a budget and are going to be using it for slow games such as flight simulators.

"I would write a review, but the one above is just too epic!"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

In all seriousness, I agree with ‘Jenny’ above, awesome piece of kit, for flight simulators, but is lacking a title in sensitivity.

"Ideal for Pricepoint, Entry to Mid Level Gamer"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

For the quality and price of the product, there can be no complaints. Functions well (I have only tested in Elite: Dangerous) but is really neat. This works on Windows 10 (you may have to plug/unplug a few times to prompt driver installation). Throttle Buttons work also, and the stick is fairly responsive. Good Purchase for me!

"It aint great but it aint bad"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

You get what you pay for: its cheap, its not a great joystick, but it isnt that bad. Does the job like a solid C student.

"Very bad."
1 stars"

Terrible joystick. Ignore this and pick up a logitech. Would not waste $5 on another one of these.
