Product: Cyborg EVO Joystick
Manufacturer: Saitek
Information: Saitek USA website
Price: $39.95

Have you ever played a flight simulator and wished that the joystick you were using was more comfortable?  Are you left handed?  Are your hands larger than average, perhaps?  We may have found a solution for you.  And that solution is the Saitek Cyborg Evo joystick.  Saitek claims that this joystick is the most customizable joystick in the world.  Saitek has been known as a company that makes nice products, at good prices.  Well, as it just so happens, Saitek has sent us a test sample.  So, today we are going to take a look at what this joystick can do for you. The Cyborg Evo features 4 axis control, 8-way hat switch, trigger, 5 stick buttons, 4 base buttons plus 2 shift buttons. It is fully programmable using the included Saitek Smart Technology Software. It's Windows 98, SE, Millenium, 2000, & XP compatible and all that over an USB Connector

Saitek has preserved the features that gamers love about the Cyborg, perhaps the most popular joystick of all time. The Cyborg line launched in 1998, as the flight sim games were taking off in popularity with PC gamers. The revolutionary Cyborg came with an adjustment tool that let PC gamers set handle size, switch throttle and palm rest for true left-handed play. In addition, the original model allowed the head of the stick to be moved in four directions for the ideal gaming position for hours of play. The Cyborg Evo replaces the adjustment tool with finger adjustable worm gears for personalization of head and palm rest. In addition, Saitek moved the fixed throttle to the front of the base for convenient control with the left or right thumb. Symmetrical base buttons are fingertip accessible, meaning no loss of control

As you can probably tell from the pictures, the box is rather large.  I would not say massive, but it is a good sized box.  The box also shows some of the features that the Cyborg Evo has to offer.  Now, looking at the box, I was rather impressed.  But I felt nothing, at that moment, like I did right when I opened the box.  I was awe struck.  But then, when I plugged it into my USB 2.0 port, my jaw dropped and hit the floor. As soon as I plugged it in, it lit up . . . literally.

:: Features ::  
  • 5 Thumb Buttons
  • Rapid-Fire Trigger
  • 8-way 'Point-of-view' Hat Switch
  • 3D-Twist for rudder control
  • Single Spring Gimbal Mechanism
  • Lever Throttle
  • 4 Base Buttons
  • 2 Shift Buttons
