Advantages: Easy to set-up/use, great value for money.
Disadvantages: Slightly lacking in design, and not very durable.

A great value, entry level joystick, for users just entering simulation/gaming, that don't want to spend too much on an all singing-all dancing joystick. The Max Fighter F-23 has all the controls that you should ever need. The axes are precise enough, with an easily found 'neutral' spot in the middle. All the buttons are easily in reach, and have a relatively substantial feel to them. The Hat-Switch is very useful for changing view settings on the ...
...anything. My only complaint with this product, is that the throttle and rudder controls have no easily findable 'neutral', so, finding the medium control setting can be quite hard. Also, after a lot of VERY heavy use, the spring for the X-Axis snapped, but I fixed this quite easily with an elastic band. The Joystick was plug and play, and registered immediately with Windows Vista. ... Read review

Advantages: Extremely reliable, traditional GC button layout, fits snugly
Disadvantages: No rumble, frequency co-ordination with multiple wavebirds can get a bit fiddly

...design and reliability that the Nintendo Wavebird still manages to hold its own. Pros The Wavebird, being the Official Nintendo wireless controller, is one of the most reliable controllers you will ever find. It is extremely sturdy, and breaking it is really a mission. The only possible problem is that the rubber on the left analogue stick *can* come off in some circumstances, but save physically chewing on it or it being scratched by a cat, it ...
...very minor issue however. Nintendo have also stopped making these now so the price of these controllers are only going up. They are available in two colours - grey and platinum. Platinum is my personaly favourite, but were never released in the UK so you will likely need to import them from the US if you want to get your hands on them. Overall They are excellent wireless controllers, and extremely reliable. The introduction of the Wii has only ... Read review

Advantages: cool looking controller with so many extras and ways to use it!
Disadvantages: certainly not cheap, but not too expensive either

...the latest console released by Nintendo and over the past year has been a fierce competitor with the likes of the xbox 360 and the Playstation 3. It was released late 2006 and after being out for over a year now it can be seen in thousands of homes across the nation with everyone getting up on their feet and being active with this great console where everything is interactive. However nothing can be done with the console without the core controller ...
...controller is your key to start playing and to start playing a variety of great games from Zelda to Call of Duty or Pro Evolution soccer in which everything in the game is based and designed upon this wireless and motion sensor controller! Every Wii console of course comes with one of these great controllers. Look and feel: At first sight of this controller it looks more like a futuristic TV or CD player remote, but it is in fact a very unique ... Read review

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
