Even though I use a controller to enjoy Steam games, I cannot call myself an expert user. I am unable to comment on the joystick's capabilities. The spacey design and the fact that I needed a spare joystick were the only reasons I made the purchase. The purchase was one I was happy with. Hired Experts: This is really cool looking. It can be connected to a computer through bluetooth or a wired connection; the incentive mode is functional without the use of tambourines. Ill effects: A slight increase in weight from the previous model. The child would prefer the older model because of its improved ergonomics.
