adjustable tension on both the throttle and stick Soooo many buttons, each switch on the base of the throttle is a toggle essentially doubling the amount of switches that you have.I assigned them to my all of my translation thrusters that I had previously assigned to the two throttle hat switches on my x55. All the switches and dials turn and work as expected.I don't have much of a use for them though. The buttons / clock on the throttle don't really seem to work.But over all, it might be more annoying to some, such as when flying a helicopter. Likely for locking the thrust and preventing further movement of the thrust axis when on ground, or locking into afterburner or maximum thrust while in flight.

There is a catch at minimum and maximum thrust axis.While the stick does not advertise it, I do believe this stick uses HEART technology even though it is not advertised (as it should be). The rudder axis is also very precise, and the x-y axes are just insane. The throttle is very precise, the rotary axes are very precise.

I am very impressed with the design and quality of the materials used.

This feels like a real piece of equipment and not a toy.

Lots of buttons and hats to keep me keyboard-free in Elite. Lots, and lots of customization with the software.

Smooth, and precise control, feels like you got your money's worth.
