Although it lacks the high-end features of the Saitek X52 Pro Flight Control System (*Est. $150), the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force (*Est. $65) is a competent and affordable flight stick in its own right. Reviewers like its programmable controls, force feedback and smooth responsiveness. Unlike higher-end models, the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force also has the unique feature of being able to switch its orientation for left- and right-handers. The Saitek Cyborg Evo Wireless (*Est. $65) is very similar, dropping force feedback for wireless capability.
The most in-depth review of the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force is on GameVortex.com, with additional coverage on Amazon.com, though relatively few reviewers have covered it there. BrightPages.com and the blog Computer Joysticks also include the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force on their lists of top joysticks, but their analysis is quite brief.

Although Amazon.com reviewers might have only used one or two joysticks before, limiting the credibility of their reviews and ratings, they do present some useful tidbits about the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force. Most complaints are simply that the flight stick does not have the superb accuracy of top-of-the-line models, and reviewers with a broader perspective tend to agree that the flight stick is a good value for the money.
