I bought an iStick and have been using it for flight sims. Overall it’s a pretty good joystick but I’ve found a few problems. It has a nice weighted base, but the plastic in the handle is a bit flimsy. The handle is seamed and gives a bit or even cracks if you grip it too tightly. The HAT switch is also pretty flimsy plastic and can crack or even come off in use. There are 2 centering dials which are useful for calibration, but I found I had to use the iStick Manager software to re-center the joystick fairly often. My biggest problem with the stick though is that after a week or two of use the internal centering tabs break and the joystick ceases to ‘bounce’ back to center. This is a design flaw, because (after taking the joystick apart) I found that the internal spring mechanism is held in place and centered by a very tiny and thin plastic protrusion. After repeated use (and back and forth movement) the protrusion breaks off. If MacAlly had used metal for this protrusion (or even made it of thicker plastic) this would be an excellent joystick. But as is, it only lasts a few weeks with hard use.
