Pros & Cons
Pros
High end and costly hotas will do the same, i find it difficult to buy the more expensive. Delighted with this purchase. Bought it for 40$ cad.
Other than the rudder issue, the other functions are as good as brand new. Only issue is that the x/y/z axis are a smidge over sensitive. For the price, it's pointless to complain about the throttle placement.
A little stiff when rotating to turn, otherwise tolerable and fun to use. I have small hands so it's sometimes hard for me to move around the little joystick on top when pulling up or down.
Cons
The centering spring is so stiff that you can't even move the stick all the way to a side without holding it down. Now its just flailing around madly.
The old wingman joystick were far better built. Yaw is whack. The rest of the joystick is mediocre at best.
Highlights
Quality
Robust, great sensation, all commands well designed to support a flight simulator.
It has plenty of buttons, fair quality, and there are no issues with installing it; just plug it in, calibrate, and play.
Joystick is stuck on 2 axes and it is impossible to fly any plane using this.
Used one before and lasted 3 years under heavy daily use.
Price
For the price you shouldn’t ask for more.
This is a good controller, although it has gone up in price by $10 since 2021.
Packaging/appearance
Be aware that it is not packed in a plain amazon box, so people will be able to see what you have bought.
Competitiveness
I don't think you can get a better flight stick for the price.

I want to add that there are no joysticks that last forever
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
All of them can sometimes break because of the mechanics and players dont always pay attention to the force they apply when gaming

There are also wires inside that can move

So yes this joystick may also break after some time
