This was my favorite joystick and if I had not bought its replacment I would ask to buy that one... First joystick that I owned that I did not break in the first 6 months. In fact it lasted almost 3 years until the twisty sensors gave out (too many spin turns in Commanche 4...)

The best jostick ever I reckon for flying Is the Saitek x52 it comes with a Throttle as well.

I've been trying to get a used one of the x52 or x45 for a while now. They are the best I've ever seen. :D

One thing I hate about the new joystick I bought is that it has a similar throttle lever as that sidewinder. When performing manuvers that require constant throttle changes, your thumb will slip off the lever. To solve this issue, I duct taped a small spring clamp to the lever and now my thumb fits right in the handle of the clamp and will not slip out except under _extreme_ conditions...

Never had this issue with the older wingman extreme digital 3d...
