Logitech G Extreme 3D PRO Joystick, 12 Programmable Buttons, 8-way Hat Switch, Stable, Weighted Base, Rapid-fire Trigger, USB, PC - Black/Silver,Pack of 1

Product Information

The Raptor Mach 1 stick has just enough buttons and hats accessible to the fingers and thumb; two of the triggers even have a safety lock feature so you don't end up kicked off the squad for accidental friendly fire. It's fragile enough to make you think it could break under pressure, and while a safety feature is always a welcome addition to any joystick, it leaves only one hat and pinky button accessible.

Sure, it's an expensive unit, but you will know your money's been well spent as soon as you lift the lid on the packaging and pull the setup out. While officially Boeing licensed, the Thrustmaster Boeing Edition Yoke is not an FAA-certified piece of kit. Not only will the best PC joystick pull you into the experience and give you a level of finite control that a gamepad or a keyboard and mouse can't do. This is the biggest thing that separates the joypad from a flight stick setup, and the granularity of speed it delivers when dogfighting can mean the difference between virtual life and virtual death. as real users, posing a threat to a site’s security, so the site sometimes runs random security checks.While Microsoft Flight Simulator didn't suggest any preset button layouts for it, I see this as a plus as it means you can assign buttons that make sense to you as you go through the training process, with no need for the arduous process of cleaning up pre-assigned buttons. It can be tough to track down 'button 14' in a bind, especially if your flying skills are a little rusty. It comes with the much-appreciated feature of Z-rotation, and the electromagnetic sensor tech also means you get accurate and durable movement from the stick and action that feels great in hand.

It feels great to use in-game, too, providing you with all the possible control permutations you could need without ever having to go near your keyboard again. And not just buttons either; extra hat switches adorn the throttle itself, one that can be split in two should you need discrete control, and there are a host of toggles and metal flick switches too.On the front of the yoke, at the bottom, there are also two more axes for extra mapping flexibility. The joystick can also be reconfigured to your liking with a modular design, making this stick particularly friendly to lefties. The innovative twin throttles are ideal for dual-engine spacecraft and aircraft, and even more ideal for battle situations when your primary engine is disabled and you're down to just one.
