The Evois very ergonomically adjustable, and has lots of programable features. The item is a joy touse, very responsive and precise, I like it. This is my second Saitek Joystick, and I have enjoyed using both. Ibought one that didn't come with a cd-rom, so had to do some downloading.I wasn't very impressed with the speed or usefullness of Saitek's response, but eventually got the programming done.
IT SEEMS WELL MADE AND I THINK IT IS WELL WORTH THE PRICE. I FINALLY FIGURED OUT THE FUNCTIONS BY TRIAL AND ERROR. I WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED THAT IT DID NOT COME WITH A CD OR MANUAL. SINCE I HAD USED THE MOUSE SO MUCH I HAD TO MORE OR LESS START ALL OVER BUT IT IS MUCH MORE RESPONSIVE AND SENSITIVE THAN THE MOUSE. THIS PRODUCT WAS PURCHASED IN MY WIFE'S NAME BUT WAS FOR ME. THE PRODUCT IS A GOOD PURCHASE FOR THE PRICE. IT WORKS WELL AND IS A VAST IMPROVEMENT OVER TRYING TO FLY BY MOUSE CONTROL.
Ergonomics could be improved but control is great. I use this for X-Plane 9, works great.
I loved my MS Sidewinder 3D Pro but many new PCs obsoleted the 15-pin joystick port, so I had to buy a USB joystick. The RAH-66 Comanche was reported to have the same type of rudder control before DoD axed the program, so apparently the higher-ups liked the control interface as well. The ergonomics need improvement, but everything functions properly. The Saitek had the same "swivel" rudder control that I loved on the Sidewinder.
A great device. I don't have to worry about the technology in my hand, it just performs. I use this unit to fly combat missions in Microsoft's various Flight Simulators and in piloting a Mech during Mechwarrior battles. The unit makes the transition easily. Overall, it provides a flexible (programable) platfrom that delivers impressive gaming performace.
