Saitek Cyborg EVO Joystick (PC)

• The worlds only fully adjustable Force Feedback stick
• Customizable head and stick enables left- and right-
  
  

Many people shall look at it and think “too many buttons” but in today’s modern gaming there is a need to have that many buttons at your comfort as gaming is speeding up and it’s all about reflexes.

The Eborg can be adjusted to any hand size and that for many people is a great advantage. The joystick can also be programmed and this is done through a GUI interface and easily done for people who are and are not computer literate.

This is a must for Flight Sims and is great on game such as BF1942 & Desert Combat as it makes flying helicopters a lot easier. Buy this or be shot down!!


Joyous stick   April 9, 2004

This is a fantastic peice of kit.

It's a little more pricey than some other sticks - but it's worth every penny. There are 5 thumb buttons and 6 base buttons (although you will only use 3 of the base buttons depending on whether you are a lefty or a righty). All of the buttons can be adjusted to physically suit your hand shape - as can the palm grip and the orientation (lefty or righty again). This is a great help and is easily done with the use of a couple of thumb screws.

The stick also has a damped throttle lever on the base which is perfectly weighted and makes for easy manouverability in all of my flight sims. The stick itself is nicely weighted too, whether you prefer to sit it in your lap or leave it on the desk. At first the movement seems slow, but you shortly get used to it's sensitivity and it makes game playing a doddle. It has a twist grip rudder control for extra precision, which took a little getting used to - but i couldn't go back to a stick without it now.

On the whole, this is a really nice stick to use and is very straight forward to set up and calibrate. The icing on the cake is the blue led on the top and the red led's in the base buttons - makes night flying look a little more atmospheric to boot!

Thoroughly recommended.

this joystick, which i got last christmas (2004) is great. it has never let me down. it goes well with flight simulators, racing games and even sports games. it has an adjustable hand rest for either hands which is great because i am left handed and i had trouble on my last joystick. there is a good pan-around hat-switch thingy and the 3D twist is really good for controlling helicopters on simulators. it also has a good adjustable throttle on the base.
