From all I can tell this thing works perfectly. At CompUSA the flightstick was about $30. The Flightstick Pro, which I couldn't resist, was $59. I only had the crummy joystick that came with my SoundBlaster/CDROM package before (which my son broke, thus the need for a new one) to compare this against, but it is a dream. Large stable base so I don't have to use both hands anymore and smooth operation. The WCS/Thrustmaster looked nice too, but it was $180! clint
