"What an incredibly versatile controller! -Those wacky buttons on the bottom of the controller. I honestly have been hoping controllers from every console would implement snappy paddles for a long time. ("Dual-Stage Triggers"). The Game-cube controller was the best feeling triggers before the Steam controller because of this feature. The Steam Controller has really, really clean and snappy feeling triggers. I just discovered today that you can assign haptic feeling to the triggers too, so if you just bind a button or a key to a soft-pull, you can have the whole controller 'thunk' when you pull it in slightly. In Counter-Strike, I do most of my aiming with the touch-pad because it feels intuitive, but when I want to aim just a tad right, I just keep my finger on the touch-pad, and move my controller a smidge towards the right. The gyro controls are so accurate and intuitive, I can control my automatic fire-spread, which is a level of precision that I can't achieve with anything else other than a mouse. The controller gives me tactile feedback on how much I'm adjusting my aim using the gyro controls. You're going to have to get used to it, just like any other controller. Or, if you're playing a flight game, you can set the gyro controls to pitch/yaw/roll control your plane while based tilt the controller (if you want). Summary: It takes getting used to, but after day five, you'll be complaining about how the Xbox controller has soggy-feeling triggers and doesn't let you aim right. I was vexxed at first by my thumbs going to the wrong place thanks to using an xbox controller, I was concerned by how different the inputs felt, but after going though the menus and making my own controller configurations for games, I don't think I can go back to any other controller. After I get a game all set up, I finally feel like I can forget that I'm using a controller, and really play the game, not fight with the controls."

"When my hand is resting on the stick and my fingers are resting on their respective buttons, my ring and pinky fingers are basically smashed together to make room. ED gives me enough time where I can take my hand off the stick to rest it, but if I had to always keep my hand there, I might have returned it for something more spacious."
"As an example, the joystick trigger for me fires my primary weapon; if I hold Button 5, it performs a boost; if I hold Button 6, it targets my wingman's target; if I hold Button 7, it locks me onto my wingman's navigation target. There's plenty of buttons, and with modifiers, you'll only rarely need to use the keyboard, and then only for the less common functions. Mapping it to the throttle AXIS will cause it to behave like a real throttle—nudging it halfway forward causes the ship to increase speed to 50% engines, and pulling it back to zero stops the ship."
"The problem I ran into was while trying to simulate real world IFR I would take off and at cruise pull the throttle back just a bit to cruise power, but as soon as I tried to use the buttons for prop or mixture adjustment the slightest touch would cause it to go back to full."
"Well, I can not afford to spend hundreds of dollars on a flight stick."
"You can get used to it enough to have fun though, but it is very dependent on the game. In space sims, you don't need to worry about your ship stalling or going into a spin because you were too erratic with the controls, but in a ww1 or ww2 game, planes can stall out very easily so you will find yourself becoming very frustrated using this HOTAS."

All is good in the world…if you must think about the stand while you are playing the game…you’ve got the wrong stand.

"I have had two knee surgeries, constructive surgery to my jaw and a spinal fusion to replace two discs in my neck. I have tried building many setups to be comfortable while playing Elite Dangerous: Horizons or other flying games."
"If it's good for joysticks, it will also be great for HOTAS setups as well."
"It is simple to figure out if you are even average at that sort of thing, but it can take a bit to realize it really is that simple, because there are a ton of unused parts in the box (which exist for customization purposes). I got around this with adhesive velcro strips, which get the job done, and it is better than just free sitting on my desktop, however there is definitely more play than being fully locked down with screws. The only other thing to really note for your consideration, and not necessarily a knock against the product, is that if you have this sitting under a fairly narrow (but not atypical) desk against a wall like I do, and use a typical office task chair, you will not be able to pull the chair up under the desk at all."
"It is solid and won't let me down in a heavy dog fight."
"Optional items for Warthog Stick and Logitech Saitek Pro Flight Pedal are crazy expensive and not returnable."
"I needed one attachment for center Warthog joystick that was not included with the Amazon order and contacted customer support who responded within a couple of hours."
"Works for the purpose intended and it appears sturdy."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"First of all this thing feels super solid."
"The downsides are: the throttle slider on the Fighterstick is pretty basic and its easy to bump the trim of the analog stick out of whack. One of the simple examples I do, is make it do that in 'mode 1', which is toggled by a button on the throttle, the throttle's analog stick is a makeshift rudder, providing yaw. In 'mode 2', the same analog stick provides up/down/left/right thrusters. You can use a special button on the throttle like a "shift" key to enable secondary functions to all your existing buttons and hats, giving you double the functionality as before."
"I constructed a stand for this and the throttle out of PVC, and adhered the stick to a piece of wood using velcro. The stick design hasn't changed in years, so I'm sure there are resources around that have taken it apart and documented it. I cannot provide a link directly, but you can find it on reddit: /r/hoggit/comments/384bkn/ch_fighterstick_throttle_wheel_has_jitter_any_fix/."
"Pros: - Buttons are easy to press and in a comfortable position for small hands - The Thrustmaster Warthog is another stick that has similar dimensions but the buttons are much stiffer. I don't want. - Hats are in a good location. - Lots of buttons. Cons: - Looks - it's a functional device with no flash. - Two fewer buttons than the Warthog and single stage trigger - The Warthog has a paddle trigger for the pinky, the thumb hat has a button press and the trigger is 2 stages."
"Go for it and you will be happy :) I plan in future buy CH products from Amazon.com. Thanks Amazon and big respect Yours happy client."
