Speedlink Phantom Hawk Gaming Flight Stick (Black) - Desktop

Bought this after my Logitech attack 3 broke down after 8 years.Got this for 1499 in lighting deal,the feeling and the buttons are better then Logitech and it also vibrates.Can't say about the durability,but overall good quality and one of the best at this price range.

Excellent piece. Nothing can be better than this .The vaccum suction is so strong that it needs to be pulled out to displace the joystick .Smooth experience buttons Best for flight simulator

Non reconnaissance de matériel.

Funktionert super bei C64-Emulationen wie z.b. Cloanto. Spiele wie Commando oder Blue Max laufen sehr gut mit dem Joystick, welcher mir lieber ist als der klassische Competion Pro, welcher an für sich auch super Joystick für Retrospiele ist. Bei dem Phantom Hawk kommt halt noch mehr das Feeling vom Quickshot 2 bei mir rüber, welcher damals mein Lieblingsjoystick (lange lange her) war. Schade, dass dieser so nicht mehr produziert wird. Könnte mir vorstellen, dass dieser sich noch gut absetzen ließe. Aber leider nein und somit ist der Phantom Hawk zumindest eine gute Alternative.

WARNING - REPEATING MY ACTIONS WILL VOID WARRANTYI love this joystick. For the price I expected something much less solid - it is big and robust, feels like a decent joystick, not a toy.The only problem was the Rotation Z axis (which is very important for the space flight kind of games I play), as it had an offset (relaxed joystick is not in the centre). Windows can calibrate X and Y, but does not calibrate RZ, which means the offset is always there in the games making my ships keep spinning over and over giving me motion sickness after less than one minute.I opened the case trying to figure out a way to correct this, which I did by soldering a trimpot and adjusting it until I cancelled the error. But while doing this I found out the internal connections in this product are AMAZING for makers and people interested in do-it-yourself projects. The mechanical side (the joystick itself and its axes) and the circuit board can be disconnected and everything is identified property in the PCB, so you can:1. mod the joystick, e.g. replacing the base buttons for a separate button box, or replacing the very small Z axis in the base for a sideways large throttle lever, or even the RZ for rudder pedals2. remove the PCB entirely and write your own firmware in an arduino or bluepill board, so you have the great mechanical build of this joystick with your own logic controlling whatever you want3. remove the joystick (a shame, as I really like the build) and use the board with your own potentiometers and buttons to build a USB joystick of your own shape (I don't see a value in doing this, but technically you can)All the axes (X, Y, Z and RZ) are 10k potentiometers (X, Y and Z are powered by their own connectors, RZ is powered by the VCC and GND from the 2 large connectors). I didn't really do any work on the buttons but in my tests they seem to connect to VCC when pressed (not GND which would be the standard in electronics).More than recommending this for games, I fully recommend for makers and people alike. And I also strongly recommend the manufacturer starts marketing products for this niche, as there are a number of people around like me building simulation cockpits ("simpits"), they get their hands dirty on electronics and are very enthusiastic on spending money on this kind of thing.

Sólo he usado este joystick para el Elite Dangerous.Hay muchas opiniones sobre compatibilidad etc, yo no he tenido ningun problema. Windows 10 lo detectó perfectamente y a jugar. Lo tuve que calibrar por eso, un par de veces y aun asi parece que no está 100% calibrado, uno de los ejes escora un poquito, suficiente para ser un problema en alguna situación pero no demasiado, o almenos no en el Elite. El otro problema es que de los muchos botones que tiene, hay uno que está repetido, el botón del meñique es el mismo que uno de los botones de la base, pero no es gran problema.En definitiva, me parece muy buen joystick por el precio que tiene. Material y peso buenos.PD: Después de 1 año usandolo, perfecto.

I know that everybody complains about its drifting-center problem, and they are right: it happens all the time. But if you don't install the driver you can calibrate it with Windows, and after that works fine. I've used it for two months and every time I calibrate it before playing and works fine. I pay like $13 for it, so for the price I don't care about calibrating it every time. I use it for Falcon BMS and other sims and works fine with all of them.Buy it if the price is $19 or less. If the price goes to $60 again don't do it! Buy something from Thrustmaster instead.
