Saitek AV8R-02 joystick

I bought this to use with my xbox 360 for games like Birds of Steel, etc. I originally bought the Damage Inc Collectors Edition which came with the game and another version of this joystick (Pacific AV8R). The main difference between the two are the shape of the stick. The Pacific AV8R has a pistol grip shaped stick and the AV8R-02 has a more traditional round shaped stick. As I have had hand surgery in the past, the diamond texture of the pistol grip of the Pacific AV8R actually caused me some pain when using it so I had to give up on it. The AV8R-02 is lot more comfortable in my hand and is listed in the default settings of the game which I intended to use it (Birds of Steel) where the Pacific AV8R isn't. They both share the same good and bad characteristics otherwise. They are both rather large and relatively light for their size. Becuase they are so light, the tightness of the spring action forces you use one hand to keep the stick under control while using it. Maybe over time as the spring action loosens up this will become less of a problem. Performance wise it is fine, and as I am left handed there are not a lot of other alternative joysticks available for the xbox 360. They are both still available on ebay in different versions for PC, xbox, and PS, though the AV8R-02 is harder to find than the other versions.Read full review

Saitek Flight Simulator Joystick

Haven't been able to use it because it has a round plug and my Xbox 360 has a USB slot, no round plug in it.
Can't find an adaptor either. Had to buy a different Xbox flight stick that has a USB on the cord.Read full review

Many features in a compact product

Like new. I already owned this flight stick, after years of faithful use it stoped working. This replacement looks and feels new.

No real problems

Just needed a screw tightened inside the base to center the joystick. Used stick so I expected wear or loosening. Works like new. Programming works.

Reliable joystick

Reliable joystick. Smooth dual throttle. Many programmable switches. Works great for me in FSX or XPlane 11.
