Review on Extreme 3D Pro Joystick Windows by Hideo ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A practical product, nothing to complain about.

I play IL-2 without getting too fanatical about it. This is my very first joystick, and I found the one I'm using on a gaming site under the category of "cheap." Excellent choice for those just starting out. If it continues to malfunction in the future, I will switch to Saitek Aviator. Pros: It is ideally suited for use in the right hand. Steady, does not slip, does not leap. All of the buttons on the base are located on the left, making it easy to press them without having to remove your right hand from the RUS. In contrast to the other models in this line, the gun button under the thumb is located precisely where it should be and does not interfere with the grip. You need a total of ten buttons, excluding the two triggers, in order to play the game. It functions without the need to install any additional drivers. Having this drawback: Holding with the left hand is excruciatingly painful. When flying in formation, the fact that you cannot take your fingers from the trigger buttons can be a little nerve-wracking. When navigating, it is difficult to press the buttons on the top of the device since the grip has been loosened. Because of this, it is recommended that rockets and bombs (IL-2) be assigned to the base buttons. Smooth plastic becomes uncomfortably slippery under the hand. After a period of six months to a year, the Z axis will begin to walk, at which point you will need to establish a dead zone. (Many owners complain about this.) Thus the accuracy of the gas industry suffers.
