Looks like crap. :P But hey if it's solid why not? The reviewers seem to think so.

 

You could also go for this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Extreme-Pro-Precision-Fightstick/dp/B00CJ5FPTA/ref=zg_bs_430928031_4

People use joysticks?  I know yeah for flight sims but man I haven't used one in ages.  I ended up with some that just are decorative cuz I don't play flyers.  I got them in boxes of pc parts I bought for next to nothing.

As for using the joystick shown yeah I never used it and may never use one again.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

Very poor build quality, poor ergonomics and very inaccurate stick, mine broke after month.

if you want cheap joystick with throttle get this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-X-Joystick/dp/B001V5QHSC/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1425733803&sr=1-2&keywords=thrustmaster+flight+hotas

 

It is pretty good, only big downside are throttle detends, you can remove them but it is risky.

I use mine for ETS2. It's a pretty handy secondary application. The input is smoother than using WASD.  :)

But...tactical troop insertions via helicopter are more fun with a joystick

Flight sims are unplayable without joystick.

Last time I used a joystick was waaaaaay back in the day playing a Power Rangers fighting+platforming game. Did a small bit of driving with it, but it wasn't good for that

(not as good as my steering wheel)

are you looking at a stick rather then a wheel for eurotruck? There are a ton more wheel appropriate games out there then stick

No, I know a wheel would be more realistic. I already had a good joystick I use for FlightSim and turns out it works quite nicely with ETS2. 

 

I have more pressing priorities than to spend 228 EUR on a G27 racing wheel.

Doesnt have to be a g27 I mean ya those are the place imo you should be looking but its not NEEDED.
