PXN F16 Wired Flight Stick Joystick with Vibration Function, 12 Programmable Buttons, 4 Axis Controlling, Flight Simulator Joystick Controller, Compatible with Windows XP/VISTA/7/8/10

Being a long in the tooth flight simmer I have been trough many a flight sim joystick in my time. A common problem I had was the axes became twitchy. Not wanting to spend another £80 for the forth iteration of my favourite stick I bought this relatively cheap flight stick and very impressed with its performance.

..using with fight simulator x deluxe. Works well straight out of the box although instructions could be better and more detailed English is needed.Long term use...unable to comment but up to date it has been tine

Likes well made solid.Dislikes.. difficult to setup in MSFS flight simulator.

Loving my joystick fore Flight sim, A bit of getting used to using one again as I'm used to using a Yoke & pedals but needed something due to moving away and not taking them with me but is doing its job

Build quality was lovely, but the instructions were awful and not helpful at all.

Doesn’t come with pre-set buttons, so don’t expect plug-and-play. Poor build quality, the built in throttle being the only redeeming feature. It is a lot cheaper than most other options - you get what you pay for.

while using other joystick in FSX & FS2004 vibration functioning but this pxn joystick's vibration is not working. It doesn't even come with a driver cd

I'm only an occasional digital pilot so this PXN F16 Flight Joystick is probably good enough for my needs, regular Microsoft Flight Simulator fanatics might be disappointed. It's actually pretty good functionally and you get a plethora of assignable buttons to play with, the catch is there's no supporting driver or app so you're reliant on Windows' and your game's built-in drivers and configuration options. That said it works okay and I was able to add it to Battlefield V as a controller and assign all the functions I wanted to the buttons I wanted. Then whenever I need to fly a plane in Battlefield V I can leave the keyboard and mouse for a moment and grab hold of this. It works fine but you do have to take the time to manually assign and setup all the controls the way you want them because none of that happens automatically, but once that's done you're free to fly.The build quality and design is okay and actually a bit better than I though it might be, but really nothing special. The buttons and microswitches mostly have a positive action and the joystick itself is actually quite sensitive and responsive, though you might have to adjust the settings in-game. That's a potential problem too because you're going to be very limited unless the game has good inbuilt support for configuring controllers, and preferably flightsticks, and of course if you normally play with a games controller you might find no option to add this as a second controller. Sitting alongside a keyboard/mouse combo it's a fun addition to your playing arsenal and for the price it's reasonable value. However there are brand-name alternatives around this price that will come with better support and may be easier (or automatically) configured to work with more games.
