SPEEDLINK PHANTOM HAWK Flightstick with Hand Rest for Right-handed Use, Black

Great for a shift knob, maybe good for gaming.

A nice cheaper flightstick. There are a couple issues, like two of the buttons being mapped to the same key, but all in all it exceeded my expectations.

I know that everybody complains about its drifting-center problem, and they are right: it happens all the time. But if you don't install the driver you can calibrate it with Windows, and after that works fine. I've used it for two months and every time I calibrate it before playing and works fine. I pay like $13 for it, so for the price I don't care about calibrating it every time. I use it for Falcon BMS and other sims and works fine with all of them. Buy it if the price is $19 or less. If the price goes to $60 again don't do it! Buy something from Thrustmaster instead.

Back in the day 40 dollars got you a pretty solid joystick. But the joystick market has gone down. This caught my attention because of the two toggle hats and the pinky key which my T16000m lacks. Those features are very convenient for DCS. I was skeptical of what I read but I took a chance. Plugged right in with out the software, DCS and Arma 3 recognize the joystick and works just fine. BUT The cons: The placement of the hats is little awkward but do-able. My biggest issue is the centering. (which people have complained about) The rudder twist tends to stick to the left and the man X-Y axis don't center perfectly. I'm willing to increase the dead zones higher because it offers more functionality then my T16000.

Was obsolete when bought. Arrived as a repack. Drivers for win10 do not work. Even downloading from the company site. The manufacturer has shut their american site and i had to use their site for Germany

I wanted to like this flightstick so badly - it is one of the few that isn't north of $100 with two directional switches. It also has some soft touch finishes and a cool LED lighting around the 8 way HAT and the weapon release buttons on the top. The suction cups are also a nice plus for me - they stuck very securely to a lap desk I was using. The button feel is also pretty good, twist rudder is also nice for those of us who just like a casual gaming experience... But..the deadzones on this thing, at least the copy I had, are so bad it's unusable. At least a full 1/3 of the stick's range of motion "locks" on the X and Y axis when rotating the stick through it's outer radius, making it impossible to control your craft in any kind of reliable way. It ends up being a mess of just straight up/down or straight to the sides with almost no diagonals. Trying a more subtle angle of rotation makes the problem even worse. See the video on this review for an idea of how much it sticks to the X/Y axis, at the start it is all the way to the edge of its range of motion being smoothly rotated, and then about 1/2 way where it really becomes a total mess. As one other review also mentions, there are actually 13 buttons on this controller, but for some odd reason the pinky button and one of the buttons on the base are both mapped to button 2. I am so sad this flight stick didn't work out - right now the market is really thin on mid priced sticks with decent features and a good button layout, and this stick has those....but the sensors are so bad and the deadzones so huge that this stick is sadly completely unusable as a flight controller. I am hopeful that the unit I got is just defective (I have already started a return), but I won't be giving it another try.

The good stuff: • This joystick has more features and a better stick feel than many other sticks at this price point. • This is the closest you're going to get to HOTAS stick performance under $40. • The POV and D-pad are very nice. • The suction cups on the bottom are a brilliant feature that is lacking in most other joysticks I've ever used. My gripes: • The throttle slider on this stick is a bit stiff, but its not unbearable. • The throttle / button arrangement on the base is not my favorite - my personal preference is to have a thumb throttle, and finger buttons on the base of the stick (more between-the-legs friendly), whereas this is the opposite - a finger throttle and thumb buttons. • My biggest gripe is the pinky trigger - it is large and poorly positioned, which causes it to knock the end of your hand off the handrest, so that makes this stick somewhat uncomfortable to hold onto. Competitive analysis: • I like the stick movement / tension / spring much better than what you'll find on more expensive Saitek / MadCatz sticks like the Mad Catz F.L.Y.5 or the Saitek Pro Flight X-55 Rhino . • I like the ergonomics of this stick better than the Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X but less than the Microsoft Sidewinder or the Logitech Attack 3 . So I'd say that this one fits in your hand about average - not great, but not awful. • This is a righty-only stick, unlike the Logitech Attack 3 or Thrustmaster T-16000M . • I like the throttle on this stick less than the one on the Thrustmaster T-16000M or the Microsoft Sidewinder . All that to say, this is still a surprisingly good stick at this price point. I recommend giving it a try.

Ordered from Neophron as new but when I got it I could clearly tell it was used. The box looked like it was thrown around after sitting on a shelf for 7 years and the plastic on the stick was so old it was Sticky. Don't be fooled by the high average rating, for some reason some people keep giving this flight stick a high review when they're using it as gear shifters for their cars.

Trovo questo joystick ottimo per il prezzo a cui è venduto, funziona sia su kerbal space program, ace combat 7 e flight simulator, vanno solo installati i driver tramite cd o da internet e poi configurare sul gioco i tasti del joystick. Carino anche il design, peccato per i materiali di plastica però ad un prezzo del genere mi sembra accettabile, in gioco è fluido e molto sensibile, quindi ottimo prodotto!

Sólo he usado este joystick para el Elite Dangerous. Hay muchas opiniones sobre compatibilidad etc, yo no he tenido ningun problema. Windows 10 lo detectó perfectamente y a jugar. Lo tuve que calibrar por eso, un par de veces y aun asi parece que no está 100% calibrado, uno de los ejes escora un poquito, suficiente para ser un problema en alguna situación pero no demasiado, o almenos no en el Elite. El otro problema es que de los muchos botones que tiene, hay uno que está repetido, el botón del meñique es el mismo que uno de los botones de la base, pero no es gran problema. En definitiva, me parece muy buen joystick por el precio que tiene. Material y peso buenos. PD: Después de 1 año usandolo, perfecto.

Kaliprasyon yok alt tuşları çok sert

Super Ware genau wie beschrieben!

Bought this to replace my thrustmaster joystick, the previous joystick was losing its sensitivity the joystick it self and the throttle was doing the same. With this new hardware it's a lot better easy to install and to configure. It's works well with windows xp used with fs2004. The throttle control is OK but when you push it up no response until it's nearly quarter of the way. Brilliant suction cups, nice amount of buttons. The vibration was a bit to much but can be adjusted on the propertys window. Overall it seems to be a ok joystick. I hope the durability will last as long as my other one.
