This is a very nice Chinese joystick.
They used to be so expensive.
Great Joystick. works with mac os 9 and mac os x too. I had this when FLY! came out and it worked awesome. Never had any problems with it, not to many buttons but just the right amount. Works good for any flight sim.
Cool, the Saitek Cyborg I have is kaput, this is a perfect replacement. I’m in!

This really is a great joystick for $10. It is a 3 axis and is more adjustable than that crappy saitek t90 that woot routinely sells. I bought an original cyborg (same stick but without the silver accents) about 6 years ago and was by far the best joystick I have owned in its price range, and that was when it was $50. It also took a beating and survived until I hurled it across my room into a b00kcase. I so wish I hadn’t done that.
I’ve always wanted my own cyborg… but this one’s not cool enough. Mine has to say “Resistance is futile” a lot and kill people.
this thing looks pretty bad ass. it will look good next to my star wars collectables
I’ve been waiting for a good joystick for awhile now…Too bad they’re not selling X-52 or the one before, but I had to get this one…It’s from Saitek and I already have some nice stuff from them…Anyone used this before? What’s your experience…I want to use it in flight simulators ONLY…Again $15 for it is not too shabby
Ok I’m curious. I know this joystick is used primaraly used for flight simluators. but has any one used these for FPS? I might be interested in getting this in the future. I mean it wouldn’t be that bad would it?
At least its not IPOD compatible
I regularly use mine (different model) in Battlefield 2, though generally speaking, only for the vehicles. I do know some people rebind their hat for movement and use the joystick as their primary control.
Also work great for racing games, mech games, etc.
I have an older version of this Joystick as well as one offered on Woot several months ago. They aren’t bad and worth the money for this one. However, I have to point out that I haven’t seen this much lame crap offered on woot since I first joined. The Woot Off was a completed let down and the last two night’s offerings haven’t been worth the trouble. Woot, you are starting to disappoint me and I am not paying all that much attention to you. Be careful, if enough of us stop caring to stay up till midnight to see what you have, you may find yourselves without buyers for your crap. Just a suggestion, but a better class of offerings is needed to keep us interested.
I grabbed 3. One for each of my sons and 1 for myself. Now to find an appropriate game. Does woot ever do games?
I have one of these, paid $20 at walmart a few years back. 4 buttons w/hat is nothing spectacular, but its a nice solid stick for the non-hardcore types who just need a decent stick for the occasional flightsim (incidentally, it saddens me that so few such games are released anymore).
Also, in addition to the stuff woot listed that U-shaped hand rest on the side of the stick can be adjusted, both up/down and switched for left-handed gaming.
I might buy it to help move a wootoff along, but I already have enough old console controlers to bash up in gaming hissy fits. If anybody needs a cheapo joystick like this, it might be past your bedtime.
Some people like to use it for FPS, but myself (gaming on PC only), I couldn’t image using it for anything else but (combat) flight sims…I know some games let you adjust the joystick in options/controls…
I dont think woot feels threatened. But I have to agree, I have just joined recently but have been watching woot for over a year now, and this past month and a half has had a bunch of gaaabaage!
Is it USB 2.0…Bluetooth…force feedback…does it have 3 axes of control???..Guess it doesn’t quite pass then huh?
Just Kidding
Ahhh…but I’m sure some underworked hacker out there could reinvent the click wheel joystick style if they felt the need…not that they would, or that they would earn my respect for doing so…
