 good... November 14, 2008
I bought this joystick in mint condition from local thrifth store for 6 bucks(didnt have driver cd, but i just downloaded them off the internet). didnt really plan to buy any joysticks any time soon, but for 6 bucks.. its a GREAT stick for the [original] price. i wasn't into flight simulators(ive been playing them here and there, but found it hard and uncomfortable to play em with a keyboard), so i installed the joystick and was amazed! then when i got a little more into simulators i decided that this joystick is not enough for me. for more "advanced" players i reccomend to get logitech extreme 3D(same as this one but also has twist handle, POV hat, and buttons are allighed on one side), or on saitek cyborg. but for people who just want to kill some time flyin simulators, this joystick is probably THE best deal.
PROS: cheap, 11 programmable buttons, comfortable throttle switch, good for lefties and "rightees"
CONS: doesnt have a twist handle, pow hat. 3 buttons are placed in the uncomfortable to reach(for both, lefties and rightees) position. but i almost never use those buttons, and i cant really complain about twisthandle and pov for that price.
 Wears down fast March 30, 2008
I bought my Logitech Attack 3 a few years ago, when the Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed expansion came out. I found this joystick to be great, for about a week. I found that the stick would just not hold center, veering to the left or right, and I would need to recalibrate it after about an hour of playing. This stick was just not worth the money. I have had the same issue with all Logitech joysticks I have used. I gave up on Logitech joysticks, and I eventually decided to cough up the extra money, and buy a Saitek Cyborg Evo, which proved to be a great investment. Years later it is still working fine.
pretty good joystick February 10, 2008
In Flight Simulator 2004, This joystick allows for sensitive control, so that you don't need to move too much. The buttons are shortcuts to some key commands. I think it's very good overall.

My son has thoroughly enjoyed this joystick. It works great on his games, from racing to flight simulation and others. We highly recommend it.

I've been using this joy stick for over a year now, and I play just about every flight sim on the market, Attack3 is quite simple to use and although it's funtions are not as well equipped as higher priced items, it certainly fits the bill as far as I'm concerned! Like another reviewer stated; "if you're looking for more realism, see a flight instructor and fly a real plane!" A must for all flight sim games!
