I have a Wingman Extreme. It has a trigger with 3 extra fire buttons and a 'hat-
switch' for games like Descent. Despite some individuals complaining about broken
triggers and/or hat switches I've no problems whatsoever with my stick and I like
it very much. It's also much cheaper than ThrustMaster sticks (I think about 1/3
of the price).
