Correct: Yes, this makes flying Airbus really fun. As many have said, the build quality leaves a lot to be desired. If it was less than a hundred dollars, I'd be all for it. But this one has a premium price - and it's mostly below average. My biggest complaint is with the 12 buttons at the base of the side handle. To be honest they are just awful. They are soft, sticky, unreliable and generally very uncomfortable to squeeze. Compared to all other joysticks I've used, this one is by far the worst. Apart from looking like a real joystick, it doesn't really have any positive qualities. When it comes to the quadrant itself, it's pretty good. While the pull levers feel a little underpowered, they don't have the soft knobs on the side handle. If I had to do it all over again I would just pick up the quadrant and leave the side handle.
