Hi all. My new saitek cyborg evo joystick arrived today (which i ordered especially for JTL). My copy of JTL will be arriving tomorrow and i'm interested to know how this stick is performing for example are all the buttons working with JTL including the twist function and hat switch (i think thats what its called) and how are sticks performing as a whole? do they have a major advantage over the keyboard and mouse or not?

i got that same stick, its pretty sensitive and you'll need to play with the settings and the keymapping options, but it works great. every button is customizable and coupled with a few keyboard shortcuts, its pretty simple to control after you get the hang of it. and with this particular stick the actual physical customization to fit your hand, you can't go wrong till you upgrade to the saitek with the left hand throttle with buttons all over the place!
