I've had this for about six months and it's proved to be very reliable under daily usage. I play mostly Rise of Flight and IL2 with it and have slammed it around quite a bit (Fokker on my six, you understand). No problems at all and it feels just as solid as the day out of the box. I love the feel of it too. Good fit for large hands on long missions.
I previously used a Microsoft Sidewinder 2 for eight years (!) and finally needed to replace it. I was reluctant to try another brand, but this has been a good choice. Rudder controls are very smooth as well.
Only issue is it seems to have some software compatibility issues with some games. Buttons show up under the wrong number on the game panel so I have to calculate the difference. No biggie, but it's a thing.
Very pleased with this purchase and would recommend for any flight simmer.
What's great about it: Ergonomics and response
What's not so great: Button confusion with game (compatability)
