I am satisfied, the purchase is quite successful.

I enjoy using it, but it has several drawbacks that I would have to warn others about before they bought it.

When you first get your RUS, you should take it apart and lubricate all the rubbing pairs of the joystick (there are plastic-plastic friction pairs); if you don't, the attachment points will wear out after a few months of use, and the RUS won't last through a year of regular use. Shoppers and users. Six months to a year after the purchase, they start to complain that the joy RUS is dangling (and there's nothing to be done about it if they didn't take care of the lubrication right after).

Pros

Numerous tactile-felt buttons, joysticks, and switches. It's a great virtual reality headset option. The ore has been split in half. For space simulators, the handles can be linked together, whereas for flight simulators, they can be kept apart. A variety of springs of varying stiffness are included with your RUS purchase.

Cons

The quality of the construction is evidenced by the fact that the throttle's slider has never functioned. After three months of trying to figure out how to put it to use, I finally figured out what it's good for. The cables and electronics are NOT PROTECTED. Since WiFi and Bluetooth radio transmitters are all around, the joysticks can pick them up. Even if the RSS is unaffected by this (the exterior is entirely plastic), touching the metal parts of the throttle (switches, left disk) can cause some buttons or switches to activate on their own (kick "useful" when, in a spacesim battle, your shields deactivate on their own or the rocket launches at an ally). Problems stop occurring once all household radio emitters (router, phones, headphones) are turned off. Not only do I have this issue, but so do other people. Installing ferrite rings on the wires can help lessen the problem by a factor of three, but they won't eradicate it entirely. Controlling the throttle's stiffness. However, this is achieved by using plastic-plastic friction couples, which are lubricated by a thick plastic fluid. After 10–15 minutes, the lubricant will begin to melt (not from friction, but from the heat of neighboring electronic boards), rendering the solution useless. This causes the throttle to slide, and the handle to hang loosely in the hole no matter how tight you had it before.
