description : The digital version of Gravis's popular Blackhawk joystick is an excellent all-around peripheral at a decent price. With a variety of preprogrammed key sets as well as the easy-to-use Gravis Xperience software for personalizing the stick with your favorite games, it's a solid combat and racing joystick. The Blackhawk Digital contains five action buttons as well as an eight-way POV hat switch for superb twitch control and a rotary throttle controlled by your left hand. It also features a pass-through game port, allowing you to connect more than one device for head-to-head gaming. The digital technology allows for greater accuracy and easier calibration during setup. The heavy, round base provides adequate support, and the molded plastic handgrip is comfortable. Even with a thick base, the entire unit is rather compact and won't take up much desk space. We especially liked the feel during flight sims, where we could almost fly one-handed, with the solid base and the nice stick spring-bac See Details >>

15 of 16 people found the following review helpful Excellant Joystick, October 14, 2000 By  "fishinfool420" (Houma, LA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Gravis G10171B Blackhawk Digital Joystick for Windows (Personal Computers) This is an excellant joystick for the price. It is heavy at five lbs. with a wide base making it very stable. The handgrip is very comfortable and the buttons are well placed. It has worked with every game I have played. The only drawback is the software. It allows you to preset your buttons for every game you play and to save the settings. However it is very complicated and will take some time to figure out. It doesn't twist for rudder control, but I never seen one that did at this price. It has serial and USB connections so thats not a problem either. You can't do any better for the price!

The right-side of the joystick has a molded piece of plastic that cradles your hand. All the other sticks have some sort of hand support but the Blackhawk has the best. You may want your fancy buttons and triggers but the question you must ask is "Do I want fancy buttons and hand cramping or do i want a joystick that feels like it's made for my hand?" Go Gravis Blackhawk!!!
