13 best joysticks saiteks

Product description

GREAT ITEM. A MUST BUY FOR ANY GAMER. SAITEK CYBORG 2000 JOYSTICK. HARD TO FIND JOYSTICK. GREAT FOR SEROUS PC GAMERS AND HARDCORE GAMERS. VERY ADVANCED JOYSTICK. HERE IS SOME INFO ON THE ITEM. Ever go shopping, see the perfect coat and try it on only to have it not fit? At least with apparel you have the chance of looking further down the rack and finding that same perfect coat- in your size. When it comes to game controllers you need to find one that fits and accept its features, quirks and function. Your other option is to find one with all of the features and functions you desire and deal with its not so perfect ergonomics. Either way its a compromise. Saitek designed the Cyborg product line with different individuals in mind. Small hands, big hands, short fingers and long, and left and right handed people. Rather that making a symmetrical, ambidextrous design they integrated a set of adjustable features that accommodate everyone. Besides the Cyborg 2000 the product line includes a gamepad and more advanced joystick. The Cyborgs are reminiscent of the Transformer toys of the early 80's. They look very high tech and have many hidden features making them appropriate for different situations. In this case the situations are different users. The Cyborg 2000 is an avanced-level controller with a few extras. Of course the adjustability is a huge extra but the stick also has a throttle and 4 way hat switch. I also paired up the Cyborg 2000 with a set of rudder pedals and external throttle. The Cyborg 2000 has great expansion possibilities.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it better to charge the mouse through an outlet or computer
Answer:	As far as power goes it doesn't matter. However, the g900 has the ability to communicate with the computer over the wire, not just charge from it. Meaning you will reduce input lag slightly by charging it off your computer because the mouse will stop using wireless and switch to wired mode. If you charge it off the outlet it will charge but it will still have to communicate to the computer wirelessly.
Question:	How long is the cable to use it wired
Answer:	Cable is 1.80 m ( about 6 ft)
Question:	Can Right and Left thumb buttons be used simultaneously? Is this how they reach the 11 count for programmable buttons
Answer:	Yes, but also, you can bind any of the buttons to be a "G-Shift" which will then activate the alternate key presses for any of the buttons, which give you a total of 21 Buttons at your disposal.
Question:	Amazon lists the mouse as having 11 programmable buttons, same as the G602, but I don't see them. Could someone elaborate on where they are
Answer:	11 Buttons With G-Shift Disabled21 Buttons With G-Shift EnabledLeft Click, Right Click, 2 Left-side Buttons, 2 Right-side Buttons, DPI Down, DPI Up, Scroll Wheel Middle Click, Scroll Wheel Left/Right. That's 11 total, but you can also map ANY of the buttons (save for the Left-Click) to be a "G-Shift" key which can then activate the alternate presses for each button, kind of like when you press the "shift" key and any of the number keys on the top row to type in a different character. So you can technically have 21 Buttons at your disposal.Edit: I know I stated you can have 21 buttons, which is true, you would technically only have 20 buttons that will perform different actions. The reason for 1 button less than what I said previously, is because that one of the 11 buttons has to be assigned to the G-Shift Key. So if you don't want to count that as an actual "function" that will do something in-game other than acting like the Shift or Fn key on a keyboard, then you will only have 20 ACTUAL different buttons. Just wanted to clear that up.
Question:	Optical or Laser
Answer:	Optical. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g502-proteus-spectrum-rgb-gaming-mouse
Question:	Do you have to be running the Logitech software for the lighting effects to work or can you run the software once to set it up then quit out of it
Answer:	The software is ALWAYS running once installed and initially set up. It stays in the background.
Question:	Does the mouse have an infinite scroll
Answer:	The G502 features Logitech’s exclusive dual-mode hyperfast scroll wheel. Click the button right below the wheel (Button G12) to switch between the two modes.
Question:	This is a right mouse, but can I adapt to it for a lefty
Answer:	No, see the Logitech G Pro ($50usd) or Logitech G900 ($80usd) for ambi mouses. G Pro is fantastic.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does the throttle work on twin engine aircraft such as the a
Answer:	Yes. In flight sims if you assign the throttle axis to the throttle input in game, the throttle should operate all engines together like any other throttle. Ive tested it in Xplane. If you want to fly a twin engine plane and control the throttles separately (for aiding in steering on the ground and things like that), you need to use a key binding for the seperate throttle inputs or just drag it with the mouse pointer. You could always assign then to the seperate axises on the throttle but that might be awkard. I use those for prop advance, mixture ect.But for normal flying it works fine.
Question:	How is this joystick secured to the desk? It seems like with that small base it would slide around a lot especially with the rudder controls
Answer:	Like Will answered, there are four suction cups on the bottom of both the stick and throttle that, on *some* desks, will work very well (smooth surfaces like glass are best, but an ikea or wooden desk might be hit or miss). With very aggressive joystick movements the base can come up off the desk. Myself personally have not had any issue with it sliding from the rudder/yaw though!Beyond that there are four rubber "feet" that grip fairly well for sliding, however that isn't the problem I had with them. My issue is that the base will "rock" up off the desk with hard throttle input because it's kind of sticky when it's brand new (at least mine was). I rectified this by taking it apart and removing some of the silicon grease used. This loosened it up more than the adjuster on the side allowed for and it's very comfortable now. I also removed the "bump" in it while I was at it, and now the whole thing works perfectly for me.I should add that there are two holes on each base that would allow for a screw or bolt to pass through. Would be rock solid that way if you want to mount them to something!
Question:	What are the individual footprint dimensions for each (L x W
Answer:	both sticks have the same footprint which is about 6.75" X 6.75"
Question:	Can you run a helicopter simulation with these controls? If so, what is a good helicoptor simulator program? Thanks
Answer:	HOTAS works pretty good for helicopter controls (I've only played ARMA though) but I'd recommend removing the "bumps" in the throttle. It's very easy to do, completely reversible, and helps a ton for helicopter flight! I'd also recommend removing a little of the silicon grease used to lubricated the throttle, as this will help loosen it up more. Cheers!https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=115981

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals work with Windows
Answer:	I honestly have no idea, I would contact Saitek. But, I have been in the PC repair business for over 6 years and can't see any reason it would not work. Windows 8 is based on Windows 7 technology and the pedals are a simple plug-and-play USB device, so it 99% should work. I just can't guarantee it without trying it.
Question:	Do the Rudder pedals control nose wheel steering
Answer:	Yes the certainly do, just like in the full size (light aircraft) the rudder pedals control both the nose wheel steering and the rudder on the vertical finThey also control the brakes - good for differential braking.

Question:	How long is the cord between the throttle and flight stick
Answer:	Could not get this to run on my hard drive so I don't know if it will work on yours.
Question:	What's the difference between this and the Logitech Extremem 3d pro
Answer:	YES, whatever you download will be saved and you can acquire it from the USB.
Question:	Is this the model that was developed with Frontier for Elite Dangerous
Answer:	I plugged mine into a computer that didn't work. It would turn on, but only to a blue screen. I could not open any program or even to log in. When I plugged this in and turned on my old computer I DID NOT DOWNLOAD the system on the USB. So Microsoft still works. However, on an older, but still working I did download a 2nd Xtra PC Pro (yes, I bought 2). The one I downloaded the program does not use Microsoft or Google. I could still access the documents, but couldn't make changes on the Microsoft documents.

HOTAS (Hands On Throttle And Stick) control of all cockpit elements.

Thrustmaster has devoted its 25 years of expertise in flight sim controllers to meet the growing demand from flight simmers in general – and space simmers in particular – who have requested a mid-range HOTAS joystick.

The T.16000M FCS HOTAS has been designed for advanced fliers looking for comprehensive, realistic controls as an alternative to using a mouse and keyboard.

It is composed of the T.16000M FCS (Flight Control System) flight stick and the TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle. The T.16000M FCS HOTAS is compatible with PC via USB in Windows 10, 8, 7 and Vista (32-bit and 64-bit).

T.16000M FCS

The T.16000M FCS features 4 independent axes, including twist rudder (controlled by rotating the stick), 16 action buttons with “braille”-style physical button identification, one 8-way Point of View (PoV) hat switch and an ergonomic trigger. Its striking orange accents and backlighting bring gamers’ immersion to a whole new level.

H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology

In order to insure exclusive high-precision performance, pitch and roll on the T.16000M FCS flight stick employ H.E.A.R.T HallEffect AccuRate Technology (U.S. patent US08471815) for 16-bit resolution (i.e. 16000 x 16000 values) – the same pinpoint accuracy delivered by the extremely high-end HOTAS Warthog joystick, allowing gamers to engage their enemies with surgical precision.

The helical spring (0.1” / 2.8 mm in diameter) inside the stick provides firm, linear and smooth tension.

Ambidextrous design

The joystick’s unique ambidextrous design can be easily switched between right-handed and left-handed use. Its twisting handle controls the rudder by default, but can also be locked in place.

Piloting with a joystick in each hand is now possible in all games compatible with two joysticks.

TWCS throttle

TWCS (Thrustmaster Weapon Control System) throttle: use your left hand to increase your combat speed and manage your spaceship or jet fighter.

The TWCS throttle’s lower positioning compared to quadrant-based systems provides unrivalled comfort.

TWCS throttle

To give simmers complete control, the TWCS throttle includes 14 buttons and one 8-way-PoV hat switch that are added to those of the joystick. In total, this provides gamers with 9 axes, 30 buttons and two 8-way PoVs – plus 3 extra axes via the optional TFRP rudder*.

The TWCS throttle features 5axes and a rear RJ12 connector offering 3 additional axes via the external optional TFRP rudder* from Thrustmaster’s flight product ecosystem.

*Sold separately.

S.M.A.R.T (Sliding Motion Advanced Rail Tracks) technology

A unique system of slide rails for perfectly smooth throttle sliding motion – precise and comfortable, with 3.2 inch/80 mm range of travel for precise maneuvers.

The tightening screw allows users to adjust the throttle’s friction level to suit their own personal taste.

Thrustmaster advanced flying ecosystem

These products are part of a range of flight simulation peripherals that can be used in conjunction with one another: a complete ecosystem featuring the FCS flight stick, TWCS throttle, TFRP rudder pedals* and MFD* (Multi-Functional Display) cockpit panels. These elements are also compatible with the T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software**.

* Sold separately.

** Free of charge, available for download from the thrustmaster.com website.

T.A.R.G.E.T advanced programming software** on PC: program up to 256 buttons in the flying ecosystem

Thrustmaster Advanced pRogramming Graphical EdiTor software: combine with other Thrustmaster devices (so that they are recognized as a single USB device), and load or create specific mapping profiles for each game.

Tailor your own profiles to enhance most Thrustmaster flight controllers, and share them with the Thrustmaster community.

Ergonomic design for optimum comfort and precision

Thanks to its design and ergonomics, the T.16000M FSC HOTAS provides players with multiple recognizable features, allowing them to become more effective and accurate when in flight. This enhanced access to flight controls proves even more essential when players are fully immersed in the exceptional flight experience delivered by VR-compatible games.

The T.16000M FCS HOTAS is the most natural and intuitive way to sit in a cockpit with one’s hands on the throttle and stick.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the difference between the x52 and the x52 pro
Answer:	A couple of buttons are different and material in various parts are better on the Pro version. Functionally they are the same with the same amount of buttons.
Question:	Does this work with ps
Answer:	No It's a PC only thing.
Question:	How well does this work with Elite Dangerous
Answer:	That's why I bought it... the controller was the original one elite dangerous was designed to work with. It's an excellent choice for it.
Question:	I have a Mad Catz era X52 Pro which died of bad build quality. Has this model been updated at all since Logitech bought Saitek
Answer:	Unfortunately, no. Logitech has made no improvement to the quality of the Saitek peripherals. I had an X55 that failed toward th end of the 2 year manufacturer warranty and Logitech failed to honor it. While I went through the obnoxious month long process to try and get Logitech to honor the original warranty on the X55, I foolishly purchased a X52PRO to hold me over. After 4 days the "i" button on the throttle failed. So buyer beware. Ultimately I ended up moving on to the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS and I've never looked back. By comparison the Siatek / Logitech gear has the build quality of a child's toy. There is literally no comparison. I realize that the price of the Warthog is steep, but at this point I've spent way more on Saitek gear only to have it all fail. If you do migrate to the Warthog just realize that the flight stick does not twist for yaw control. You can either map yaw to a different control input or I highly recommend purchasing the Thrustmaster flight pedals. I use this setup for Elite Dangerous and it's the best flight control system I've ever had. No regrets. Hope this helps and best of luck!

Question:	Had the g x56 for 5 months, now experiencing ghosting input in the throttle quadrant. any fixes for this. i have heard a powered usb hub fixes it
Answer:	These are only designed for the Plantronics LEGEND and PRO models. Will not fir other Plantronics model.
Question:	Does this work on ps
Answer:	Small is 13mm, medium is 14mm, large is 16mm.
Question:	Ive heard that the early models were prone to the throttle wires breaking. Has this been rectified
Answer:	Fabric lined
Question:	Any changes in build quality vs saitek x56/ logitech x
Answer:	This is an estimate because I don't have the case with me. I believe it is about 3" long and 2" wide. It is rectangular not square. I actually thought they could have made the case smaller for the amount it holds. If I get my case back really soon I will measure and repost the actual dimensions.

Question:	Does it have Force Feedback
Answer:	No it does not
Question:	Does this control yoke have a center detent
Answer:	Yes, the yoke has detents at the center of the X&Y axes. Each control on the throttle quadrant has a detent at the bottom of the throw. This is the factory set up. There are tutorials on You Tube to remove these all of the detents on both the yoke & throttle quadrant, and set up for more realistic flight control charecteristics. Hope this helps…
Question:	Is this product working on the MacBooks
Answer:	I have a macbook pro as my side computer and it works just fine. You need a little finagling though to get the keybindings to work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Will it work in FS
Answer:	I have this panel and FS2020 ,but have not set it up. You can use it, but needs some work. Look in the 2020 forum for the way to get it to work. I'm just going to wait for Logitechs driver. I'm hope it will be soon.
Question:	Does this have altimeter control on it
Answer:	altitude control not altimeter
Question:	Do the buttons iluminate when pressed
Answer:	Yes, they iluminate. But I recomend not to buy, the knob with which you select CRS, HDG, IAS, VS, ALT, is very hard to turn and select the function you want, and, after some use it those not work any more. The worst part is that they don't have or don't want to sell you the replacement. Very bad support!!!
Question:	Can I change speed with this or is it alt only
Answer:	With the Multi Panel the speed can be changed for aircraft with a digital airspeed indicator, e.g. Boeing 737.

User questions & answers

Question:	How much does it cost
Answer:	MSRP is $169.99
Question:	When will this product actually be available to buy? Are they keeping the supply low on purpose to inflate the price
Answer:	There were so many orders at once that they ran out of stock quickly and have to manufacture more. The price is being inflated because of how few are left on the market. The ones you see here are the ones people managed to buy early and resell.
Question:	Is this ever going to be available at not double the msrp
Answer:	I got one at $169 from B&H on Feb 2021. Google it and you can find a few places selling at msrp.
Question:	When will pre-orders ship from Amazon
Answer:	If its a pre-order from TCA that's recent, it'll ship around Feb 2021.
Question:	This is a controller for other games then? If I plug this in, does a game start
Answer:	This will work with any PC game that supports a joystick, but it does not come with any games nor will it start a game when plugged it. It's hardware only.
Question:	Does this stick have the z-axis function. (rudder system on a plane
Answer:	No, there is no twist
Question:	Very odd question - Does this work with Windows 8 - 8.1 with any kind of modified Drivers
Answer:	I am running it on windows 7. You should be able to get the answer from the manufacturers website. I would think that it would still work because windows 8 does have a generic controller driver. The one I bought did not come with a driver on disk, It is all internal. Sorry I could not be more help.
Question:	Windows 10 ability
Answer:	Worked fine for me on Windows 10, latest updates. Used with a couple of flight simulators.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can these also be used as gas/brake pedals for racing, like some other pedals (CH) can? Thanks
Answer:	Yes, on the plug there is a switch between an airplane for flight and a car for gas and brake.
Question:	Do the pedals have incremental press. I mean if I press the pedal halfway will it send half power, Such as when i'm driving a car it would apply half
Answer:	Yes, they behave exactly as described. Each pedal has its own axis for toe press as if braking in a car. The third axis is the rudder style movement. They have the option to disable the input on the rudder axis for true car style driving as well.
Question:	are they good for dcs and elite dangerous or should get something else
Answer:	Yes. For the price, the TFRP pedals are very good. They are a bit sensitive in DCS, but axis curves fixes that. They have light spring pressure so its easy to hold inputs in for lengthy times as may be needed sometimes when flying the UH1. Works well in ED too, especially to side slip to align a gun/laser shot, or alignment when doing a fast entry/exit on a port. Center spring is light, so its easy to make unaware inputs. While they do have a close spacing between the pedals, Ive found comfortable position for my feet with heels on the pedals and heels on the floor. If you want a pro level feel, pay three times as much for another type that are realistic. But for what it does for the cost, its a great controller addition to my active sim world. Plug and play easy with no software installed needed, and have not needed to calibrate at all yet.
Question:	Do they work with star citizen
Answer:	Yes they do! Any PC flight related game (Space sim, flight sims, even driving sims. They have a selector that allows you to use them for throttle and brake if you place racing games.). Basically any PC game.
