Bought to replace an X52 after frustrations with that throttle. Both of these controls have some quirks, but overall I love them. The stick is surprisingly sensitive. I fly IL2 and do a good bit of formation work, and the stick is sufficiently sensitive to work this with no deadzones. I put in the second to lightest included spring after the standard on lightest both weren't quite right for me. The buttons are solid adn the hats are great. A few other pros/cons:
Pros:
- Literally more hats than I can use. I have one on the stick and one on the throttle that are essentially unused in IL2.
- Overall build quality and precision is very good on the stick and superb on the throttle.
- Love the split option on the throttle for multi-engine.
- Bought rudder pedals when I got this, but actually prefer the twist-stick for rudder. Works great (wish I could adjust the tension, but can't have everything).
- Throttle rotary controls both incorporate a button push and a center of rotation detent. Great control which I use for mixture/prop, boost/airbrakes.
- Overall quality is less than Warthog or high-end EU stuff, but falls in 'just right' category for me. Plugnplay w/ Win10 and key mapping is seamless within the game.
Cons:
- Lacks the two stage trigger from my old X52 - why??? That was a great feature!
- Throttle is naturally VERY high friction. Literally impossible to rapidly slam it to the stops. I imagine this will make it last longer, but be ready to adapt your control style. I cannot imagine many people using ANY of the included friction lock until they've had it a LONG time.
- I love the toggle switches on the throttle, rather than on base of the stick like on the X52. However, despite the sidebars, switches 1-6 sit directly under your wrist as it rests on the throttle. This has led to a few inadvertent activations of these switches in-sim while flying. Needless to say, I remapped Ctrl-E to a different toggle! Its uncomfortable too. Relocating and incorporating a smooth wrist rest would be better.
- The two way pinkie slide on the front of the throttle has some issues and no longer returns to center after just a few months. I use this for flaps so makes me check the control position any time I deploy them.
- Both the stick and throttle incorporate a mouse-stick type control that I cannot utilize effectively. No real need in my current games, and sensitivity would need a lot of tweaking. I would really have preferred a thumb button where the mouse-stick is on the stick.
Bottom Line: If it breaks, I'll get it fixed and keep using it, not replace with Warthog or other. Sufficient for my use in IL2 and likely DCS and other sims as well. I don't do Elite or space sims, but I imagine that it would be great there too.

8.2 out of 10
Make sure to plug it in to a separate USB 3.9 to pcie expansion card otherwise you will get Phantom keys. If Problem is not maxed on tightness slightly over time. Requires a separate software which has only been updated to windows 10. I have medium-sized hands and sometimes have troubles getting some of the buttons because of the size of the control. Other than that it's amazing response within milliseconds I would suggnot having it directly on your table though.
