Great Performance, Excellent Price

I always research my products that I purchase. This was one of the best joysticks I've ever used. Not only because of the amazing quality for the price, but because it can be very difficult to find a joystick with just the right tension. Many allow even the lightest of touch to move which makes it very difficult for smooth accurate flying. Tension makes the stick feel more realistic as well as easy to use especially for flight sims. Works for Windows 7 (may need to download updated drivers from website) and software allows for fully programmable buttons and axis'. I use mine on WIndows 7 for Battlefiled 2 and I prefer it over my friends Saitek X52 Joystick.
Con- Although you won't find a better joystick for the money and even verses some more expensive models, the other reviews are totally correct when it comes to the Handle Twist function (used for tail rudder) becoming off center. Mine seems to favor the left just slightly. Unplugging and plugging back into the PC helps center again but not always. Calibrating won't help. Might just be a side effect of having a twist handle joystick. This is the only reason I don't give it a perfect 5.0 rating.
What's great about it: Just about everything!
What's not so great: Twist Handle has natural point of rest slightly off center.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Secure your home theater speakers to either a wall or ceiling with these speaker mounts that feature a tilt-and-swivel design for multiple placement options.

These are exactly the same as the Sanus brand. The other reviews couldn't be more right. These mounts will serve their purpose but poorly. Terrible instructions but fairly easy to install if you are good with tools. Wall or ceiling mountable. They come with different screw sizes for a wide range of speakers. Cheap plastic parts feel flimsy and weak once installed and although rated for up to 8 lbs. I wouldn't recommend using them with a speaker over 6 lbs. There isn't a huge variety of wall mounts out there that are universal so these may be your only choice. I used them for the two rear speaker in my LG Surround Sound System.
What's great about it: Fairly simple to install
What's not so great: Weak and flimsy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Which of the two Logitech $29.99 controllers would be best to use for Microsoft Flight Controller?

?
Simple Answer. The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. Pay no attention to the 3 star or less reviews. This is by far one of the best you'll ever use. Nearly close to a perfect joystick with more features than the other $29.99 joystick. I bought my Logitech X3D Pro over 5 years ago and I paid the same price. That is a primary example of how good this thing really is. They just keep selling and selling!

GRAPHICS CARD UPGRADE

I HAVE A GATEWAY GT5411E WANT TO UPGRADE THE GRAPHICS. WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST?
Look up your model at the Gateway website under Support. Your going to look for Specifications about your model. Under specs, it will tell you your current graphics card which is an onboard generic Intel card. Under "Add in card slots" you have listed 1- available PCI-E 16x slot. The means you can purchase and install one PCI Express card capable of 16x bus speeds. I just put the ATI XFX HD4650 in my Dell. Great card for the money with 1GB of DDR2 memory.

what video card will fit in a hp s5212y slimline case?

I recommend you visit the HP website and find your model under their Support section. Type your model in and then click on Product Information. This may tell you what kind of graphics card slot you have like AGP or PCI-E. Anyways, I just looked for you and under Motherboard Specs it lists 1 available PCI-E 16x (PCI Express 16x) slot. There ya go!
