Whether you're on a leisurely commercial flight full of passengers or hurtling through the sky on daring mid-air battles, complete control is of the utmost importance.

Straightforward control device

Used to have fun with MS Flight Sim 95 with the keyboard as a control, but find it difficult to tell aircraft settings (elevators in particular) with the newer version ten, so decided to try a joy stick. This is the first one I've owned (aside from the kids' Atari!) so I'll defer to the experienced gamers to compare it to other sticks. Bottom line: it works fine - boots up automatically - no complaints, other than that the handle appears to have been designed for someone wearing a flight suit!
What's great about it: Compatible with Windows 7 and MS Flight Sim X. Fairly priced.
What's not so great: Not easy to manipulate (light, huge handle).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Fine replacement for an old desktop

Previous reviews are generally positive and they are correct. The refurbished unit is problem-free and does have WIndows 7 (instead of the dreaded Windows 8). I use this for home Internet browsing and digital photo storage. Following the supplied instructions, the operating system was verified and working in just a few minutes. I had to tell it to install the usual microsoft games, as they were missing when the computer was first booted. Also plan to spend a little more money for software (such as Office in order to have Word), as well as a new keyboard and mouse if they're shopworn in appearance.
What's great about it: Memory, Windows 7, initial price.
What's not so great: Mouse and keyboard will show wear.
I would recommend this to a friend!
