Cheap but expensive

Honestly this HOTAS is a little overpriced for what it is. The plastic has a cheap feel to it, and the overall design feels like a miss. It's quite a stretch to hit some parts of the stick but in general it is very serviceable as a generic HOTAS for many different applications. The stick is probably the worst-designed part. The "A" button and the trim switch are very awkward to reach in particular, and if you use the twist function, the stick tends to creek quite a bit. There seem to be quality issues in manufacturing as well, as one of the hat switches on the throttle does not spring back to center. I get around this by just not using it, but this is honestly kind of a deal-breaker for me. It's vastly overpriced for the actual amount of care put in to making and designing it. Would I recommend it? If you are looking for a HOTAS in this price class, yes. If you're willing to spend more, go with Virpil or the Thrustmaster Warthog. For what it's worth, I paid what those are worth for mine due to really low supply of HOTAS controllers in general and this was what I was able to get in a determinate period of time. I don't regret the purchase, but I expect more for what Logitech thinks is a $250 controller, especially paying nearly twice that.Read full review
