Advantages: Nice to use, lots of buttons, twin throttles, cheap
Disadvantages: Base light and tends to move, Can't blame crashes on joystick any more

...then I came across the Saitek Aviator, and decided to give it a try. The Aviator provides the best of both worlds between a basic joystick and the full flight sim set-up, and at the sort of price you'd pay for a decent joystick. It's a fairly basic design, modelled to be similar to the joystick on a real fighter plane. Being left handed, the basic design is a real advantage since unlike many sticks, it can be comfortably used by either hand. Where ...
...As well as the basic joystick, it also has a twist for rudder control, which is a real benefit to flight simmers, particularly as I've not yet found rudder pedals for under £100, and not 1, but two throttles, great for flying twin engined planes. It claims to be (and from what I have seen I believe it) the only joystick with 2 built in throttles. The left throttle has a button on the side which can lock them together. As well as allowing independent ... Read review

Advantages: Superb controller with no wires and loads of features and very good feel
Disadvantages: None- except a bit more expensive than wired controller

This the wireless controller for all xbox 360 consoles regardless of whether they are the arcade console or the newest elite console. This controller will work on all the consoles. The controller itself is just as important as the console as without the console you are kind of stuck and can't do much. This controller is also wireless! Wireless: I remember when i had my PS2 and PS1 and had all those wires dragged across the room and getting all ...
...complain about them being left everywhere and wire becoming a hazard. Now that is no longer a problem with the new xbox controllers coming completely wireless. I can now sit where I want in my room and not have to worry about the wire getting caught or stretching across to my desk with the controller in my hand and suddenly being jerked back by those annoying wires. The wireless system involves 2.4Ghz technology (not too sure what that means but ... Read review

Advantages: Great design - a cool looking controller
Disadvantages: Quite expensive

This limited edition Halo 3 controller has two different version available - the first being this spartan one (which i own) or there is also a covenant one available. THis is very much similar to a normal wireless controller with all the same buttons and triggers, except that it has a much smoother surface. However the main difference is that it has some very cool artwork on it, made by Todd McFarlane. This shows images of master chief standing ...
...the other side. The art is of very high quality and will not come off - i have owned mine for six months and it is still in very good condition. The back of the controller is just black and this is quite unique from the standard white controller. Another advantage of buying this controller is that you get a cool little figurine of master chief aiming a machine gun. This looks quite nice to stick on top of your television. This controller costs ... Read review

Advantages: Realistic feel, responds well to command
Disadvantages: Can sometimes be a bit juddery, maybe I need to oil it..

...straight and level with this yoke, just like in the real world! - I've only ever tried this for GA aircraft, and it performs really well, I've no idea how it peforms with the jets. OVERALL the Saitek yoke is a very realistic, affordable and very user friendly product. ... Read review

Advantages: very precise and small, stays fixed almost perfectly on the table
Disadvantages: absurdly fragile, only suitable for small children

...like it was tested at thrustmaster by small children or a very delicate lady. I have a lot of experience with PC racing wheels and racing games. I have a MS FF wheel for about at least 6 years now and although its not very precise and doesn't fix well on the table, is resistant and its still working. Thanks God i bought that MS wheel at that time ! I also have a logitech momo racing wheel which although is precise and robust, is assembled with factory ... Read review
