If this is what's avaliable, it's OK, very affordable,
the positives, It has a comfy grip that you can rest your palms on for extended periods, the sensors seems to be reliable and precise and the stick itself has a somewhat long travel, the grip has 3 buttons along with trigger, which you can reach without lifting a finger but only slightly for the right thumb button, the hat stick is tiny but usable and has tactile feel with click, its input is linear certainly better control overall than the Saitek and the Logitech.
the negatives, the plastic grip assembly distorts over time and makes noise when squeezed, it has jitter around center so slight control is hard, if the aircraft is trimmed there's no way to place your hand on the stick and not influence it, there's atleast one other user here who had the slider throttle cable break off(i fixed it with solder, as he did), the throttle slider design is bad for aircraft sims, since it has a sticky center detent with a click that requires some force to overcome, so naunced throttle around 40%-60% is hard if not impossible, the base is light and can come off desk with abrupt strong movements.
overall, good joystick but not to be recommended over the T.16000M, if you can't access that then this is the next best thing for the price.
