The Saitek X45 Joystick/Throttle system contains all of the features I would ask for as a flight sim enthusiast who has gone through far too many joystick options. The 6 programmable axes (X, Y, Z, and Rz, plus Rx and Ry as dials) feel smooth and tight through their range of travel, with adjustable tension for a customizable feel. The throttle features a detent near the full-forward position which provides tactile feedback for afterburner control (which was automatically programmed in the sims I tried) and the dials sport detents at the center position which is very useful for calibration, as well as repositioning associated controls within the game to a neutral position.
There are 8 programmable buttons and a pair of 3-position digital sliders, which are pretty straightforward. The inclusion of 3 eight-direction hat switches (two on the stick and one on the throttle) provides excellent options for additional controls as well as view control. With most sticks supplying only one hat switch, I often had to make the difficult choice between extra functions on the stick or a view control. The only feature missing is a center press-down button on one of the hat switches, similar to the stick button on the PS3 and XBox 360 controllers, which would allow for easily returning the view to the center.
There is also an 8-way mini control stick on the throttle that is designed to serve as mouse control. While the idea seems handy, the stick is positioned at an awkward angle that renders it rather unintuitive and thereby useless.
A minor complaint is the bulk of the system and the cord tangle across your desktop. The bases of both the throttle and joystick are quite large and space-consuming. The throttle utilizes a cord which plugs into the joystick. It is long enough to reach around your monitor, which means it will generally have enough slack to take up more room and cause more clutter. The USB cable which connects the stick to your computer is also quite long, which is useful if your computer is located on the floor or anywhere distant from the monitor. On the other hand, again, longer cord equals more clutter.
I used this system on both Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6. On both OS's the flight controller worked exactly as expected: easy to set up, reliable, and intuitive within the game.

Bought these through Amazon as used but in almost new condition. I was very happy with the service from the seller, "sniperwolfsguy" and they were delivered promptly, in good shape. I've got more confidence in Amazon than I have in E-Bay.
I'm using them with X-Plane, which is a great simulator. I used to be a professional pilot, lots of time stick and rudder crop-dusters as well as more sophisticated equipment. This unit is responsive with as authentic "feel" as you can expect in something that's hooked up to a computer rather than strapped to a real airframe and powerplant.
Lots of programmable buttons and things for simulating anything from trim to radio to guns to water drops. Rudder controls under the throttle take a bit of getting used to but you can always flash out another $150 for rudder pedals?
If you're trying to fly any simulator with a mouse and keyboard, take a step up and try something like this.

Just recieved the x45 and I must say it is far more responsive than the newer x52 and x52pro! The rudder control on the throttle is much better than a twist joystick. No problems downloading and installing the drivers orSST software from Saitek. The CD software is no good. Up and running with FS2004 in 10 mins. The x45 is better suited for the tight stick and responsiveness. I hate a sloppy stick. Overall I will use this one until Saitek comes out with a better model. Hopefully fixing the problems with the craftsmanship of the x52, and placing the rudder control back on the throttle. SST programming was very easy to do. Made programs for 10 games in little over an hour.

I bought this joystick for use in the BF1942 mod: Desert Combat. I had to hunt down a special file to get this joystick to work with this game though, which was actually a limitation of BF1942.
The controller itself is pretty bulky, but I guess that's to be expected from a joystick/throttle combo. I'm used to gamepads, so this took a little getting used to.
The reason I give this 3 stars and not 4 is because of the rudder control. It's inconviently located on the thottle control in such a way as you have to bend your wrist down almost 90 deg to reach it. Using the rudder control for more than 10 minutes and you'll start to experience pain in your wrist.
Fortunately, the controller comes with a great Profile Editor utility which lets you bind the controls to pretty much any keystroke imaginable. So, you can use this in any game, but it takes time to either hunt down an existing profile on the web, or building your own.
To be fair, this joystick is probably better for flight sims than combat.
TIP: There are notches on the bottom of these two devices, find a surface you can hammer nails into and align them with these notches. This way, the joystick doesn't move around on your desk and you have much better control.

This is the best fighter throttle and joystick combo out there. The product is easy to install (follow the directions, the throttle plugs into the joystick and the joystick plugs in to the computer.) and the configurability is excellent.
I am a GA pilot and use this for both combat sims (IL2, LOMAC, Aces High), X-Plane and FS2004. The construction is rock solid (it is not made of cheap plastic like most joysticks on the market) and the ability to change the tension on the joystick and throttle are an added bonus.
Bottom Line: If you're an avid flight sim fan looking for a joystick, skip the rest, buy the best.
