Very good controller. I have it for 5 months without any problem.

For ACE COMBAT™ 7: SKIES UNKNOWN, which is why I bought it, it's great. I also tried it on Microsoft Flight Simulator, but there were some issues, like some gaps in the throttle and it didn't increase or decrease speed. Other than that, it's good.

The buttons adapt perfectly and everything works flawlessly in both games, except for the throttle issue I mentioned. As for the practical aspect, you can connect the joystick with the throttle or have them separate if you prefer. Personally, I find it more convenient to have them separate because I want the joystick to be more accessible. The fact that it gives you this option is a positive aspect.

The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have vibration. How is it possible for a simple gamepad that you buy for 30 € to have vibration, while the one I bought for 90 € doesn't have it? Despite that, I give it 5 stars because I don't want to be unfair, as this is purely a personal opinion.

Of course, I would recommend it for ACE COMBAT™ 7: SKIES UNKNOWN. Not so much for Microsoft Flight Simulator. It's better to go for something more specialized and therefore more expensive.

I got it for Flight Simulator on the Series X. Even with zero dead zones, it doesn't drift at all, while the Elite controller, for example, requires a 5-10% dead zone.

Positives:
Overall, it makes piloting much easier compared to the gamepad.
Its cable is detachable, like the Xbox 360 cables, so they won't get damaged if pulled. The joystick resistance can be easily customized with a large screw.
Overall, it is more sturdy than it appears in the photos.
In Flight Sim (presumably in other games as well), we can also use button combinations if the 15 independent ones are not enough.

Negatives:
1. Relatively short cable.
2. Not all buttons have the same feel, for example, while most have a click feel, B5 and another one do not have tactile feedback. Nevertheless, they work fine!
3. The throttle is a bit heavy, and if it loosens further with use, it won't stay in position. It will either fall from its weight at 100% throttle if it is above the middle, or at 0% if it is below the middle. It does not have a screw for tightening the throttle.
4. On Xbox, only a few games support it.

Very good, it works as stated in the specifications for the XBOX. Unfortunately, after about 2 weeks, it stopped working and I have sent it for replacement. I don't know, maybe it was one of those things. Maybe because it was one of the first ones for the Xbox. I am looking forward to receiving the new one!
