A reliable product, quality is acceptable.

The non-linearity on the X and Y axes is corrected, albeit not completely, by a simple refinement (it is necessary to rearrange the magnets on the axes from racks to gears, and throw the racks out altogether) - it’s not clear why they didn’t do this from the factory.
Cheap and short-lived resistors on all axes except for X and Y - but this is the case with all modern joysticks, so I don’t write in shortcomings.

Joy is quite good for his money. More convenient than X55/X56, cheaper than X52 Pro (there are differences from Pro, but the price for these differences is 200, not 4000).

Pros

Many axes and buttons - allows you to assign almost everything to the joystick, even in the most challenging flight simulators. Convenient throttle - all buttons and knobs can be reached without problems.

Cons

- Axis Z (aka twist) - it's better to block this thing, or even seal it tightly and use the twist on the ORE (or even buy pedals). It is very inconvenient to use a twist on this type of handle - the hand gets tired. And the lion's share of RUS backlash falls on this mechanism. - Glitchy USB controller. It uses non-standard approaches to work, so in Windows 8 and 10 and on modern chipsets, amazing adventures with settings and installing drivers await you.
