All in all, I'd say that the
Saitek ST90 is a good, solid joystick. It wasn't hard to get used to the buttons or control setup of the joystick and the placement of the buttons felt really natural.
I thought the ability to unlock and fold the tripod legs up for storage was a nice feature that made this product more than just another joystick.
The ST90's digital throttle was another good and very noticeable feature. The plus and minus throttle buttons are arranged just above the thumb and are good for when you need to speed up in a hurry. The throttle has 5 positions and clicking the plus button raises the throttle to the next position (indicated by 4 green LED's above the throttle), or you can hold it down to increase the throttle at a slower (though constant) rate.
I picked up a few sims when Psibabe handed me the ST90 to review. I figured I had better try this joystick out on some of the more modern games out there. I found its response was good for games like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, Jet Fighter III and IV and even made a game like Hot Wheels Jets (one that I found to be a bear to control with the keyboard) easier to tolerate.
