Great all-around stick
I have used the Wingman force feedback joystick and this stick and, for the money, I'll take this stick anyday.

The handle fits my hand well. The overall feel is one of durability yet fluid movement. The return to center is quick and strong. The button location is good overall, but the hat switch could be better designed. A minor point, but your finger can slip off the switch during fast gameplay, due to its shallow, somewhat slick design.

One feature I really like is the handle twist. Really nice for rudder movement on flight sims and good for looking from side-to-side in first person shooters.

Add to this the great trigger response and cool base design and you have a winning package.

Slick stick at a nice price!
I bought this as a replacement for my LogicTech Extreme Digital which stopped working after I upgraded my machine (grumble...grumble). Just as well, this beautiful USB/gameport joystick is fun to use. I primarily use it for flight sims like Flight Unlimited 3 and Jane's WWII Fighters (and !SOON! MS Flight Sim 2002!!!). It set itself up for Descent 3 and after some minor tweaking with the sensitivity settings it worked better than any stick I've ever used. It just feels right. The buttons are all conveniently located and the hat switch was a simple rake of my thumb. I had a CH Flightstick years ago with a huge knob for a hat switch. I like this Wingman hat much better. The rudder control was a nice surprise! Just twist the stick to & fro and the rudder flaps back and forth (I've never had a rudder before...rudder virgin?). The stick looks awesome on your desk too! The foot is stream-lined and the front trigger has those striking holes like a revolver. My only disappointment was that the Logitech ensignia at the base of the stick did not light up like I thought it would (bet I'm not the only one...ha ha). Logictech includes good software for the stick to set it up how you like for your games. Highly recommended stick!

NOTE: I have had problems with USB on my system so the option to use the gameport was appreciated. Not so lucky with the Gravis USB gamepad.

Not bad for the price
I have been playing Unreal Tournament with this stick, and have found it quite easy to maneuver the halls, and to switch weapons with the POV. The trigger works exceptionally well, and with the aid of mouse targetting have worked through tournaments quickly and effeciantly. The base is quite heavy, and setup was a snap wiht the usb interface. A real steal for the price.
