Thunderstick GRS Flight Yoke

Having loved the Star Wars vector arcade games since the 80s, i’ve never quite managed to get the same experience playing MAME versions with an arcade stick.The GRS flight yoke changes that… it’s a reassuringly heavy unit, which performs beautifully, to recreate the “arcade feel” of the original. So much, in fact, that I plan to construct a sit-in cabinet solely for the Star Wars games.USB plug and play allowed me to be playing immediately.Also works with lots of other games - Outrun, Afterburner, Marble Madness, Paperboy - Any game that requires an analogue control.

Quality solid very well made as good if not better than the original.

Bought this for project, quick test analogue axis feel good, the actual buttons (face and triggers) feel pretty bad, triggers feel very cheap/thin with annoying loud click, very slow if needing quick response.The face buttons on each grip are just mini sticks which just push down, poor implementation and just feel weird, should of used regular controller face buttons. This whole controller could do with a complete overhaul, more buttons and better quality buttons, analogue triggers and also needs a POV Hat (more than enough room), I am told by GRS they are working on an add on, but time would tell, should just redesign from group up and should also not pre apply the face sticker but include seperate as optional as its quite ugly and tacky.

First impressions - its build like a tank.Played the 1983 starwars on mame and the yoke handles like a dream. We're actually building the cockpit cabinet where this is going to truly be the centre piece for the whole project. Very happy with the control. Thanks.
