The little joystick that could

It doesn't have all the features of those big sticks you see out there, but it has everything you need for most games: four action buttons, a hat, and a throttle wheel. Plus it takes up less space on your desktop and it's easy to use regardless of the size of your hands. The only thing is that it's light so you have to hold it with both hands....

Best Joystick I Ever Bought.

I have gone through a number of joysticks over the years and this is the best for the money. It is very durable. The buttons are easy to use and can be configured in most games. I really like the fact that I have had this product for 3 years without breaking it or having "drifting" or alingment problems. My only problem is I could not get this to work on Windows 2000, but it works great with WIN98!!!!...

Most comfortable!

The Blackhawk joysticks are the most comfortable sticks in a persons' hand.The right-side of the joystick has a molded piece of plastic that cradles your hand.All the other sticks have some sort of hand support but the Blackhawk has the best.You may want your fancy buttons and triggers but the question you must ask is "Do I want fancy buttons and hand cramping or do i want a joystick that feels like it's made for my hand?"Go Gravis Blackhawk!!!...
