(IDG) -- For only $20, the ST110 is a nice joystick for the casual gamer. It comes with a standard set of four stick-mounted buttons and a throttle, and a ring around the stick's base is used to customize tension.

On the downside, none of the buttons is programmable, and a hat switch isn't provided, so the ST110 is best suited to relatively simple action/arcade games.

Still, it's comfortable, with a good feel and, relative to other joysticks in this price range, a good deal.

However, if you're a die-hard flight sim enthusiast, however, thew ST110 isn't the controller for you.

What We Like: Comfortable, adjustable tension, inexpensive, good feel
  MESSAGE BOARD
Gaming

What it's got:

  • 4 Buttons
