Worst part: the resistance of the stick is not linear to it's movement range - it increases somewhere at 75% and decreases at 8x%.

The throttle is just cheap, the friction is a joke, and the rocker switch is of no use at all since it's an axis.

No mapping software either.

Conclusion: It's cheap, but it's a crappy hotas too.
Go and buy a better "not hotas" stick for the money, or if you want hotas: spend more.

Didn't feel very precise, however I can only compare it to the x52.
