Quite a nice joystick. Reported as a standard USB joystick.
Four analogue axis (X,Y, throttle, twist); all work fine but the sensor tends to be a little jittery on a small scale (tried using the throttle axis to control zoom in my own project - makes for a rather shaky view). The hat is reported as two axis, but each only has three positions (-1,0,1).
Originally I thought the analogue axis had a dead-zone in the middle, but that's just the default calibration; after calibrating the joystick it doesn't have any dead-zone.

I got the joystick because it was suitible for using with either hand; and really it's quite nice and works well for general flight sims.
