Where to Buy
Safety & Ergonomics
- Take breaks every 45–60 minutes to reduce strain.
- Keep wrist neutral; consider a padded wrist rest or an arm support rig.
- Ensure cables are routed safely to avoid snagging or accidental disconnection.
Connection: Plug the USB connector into a USB 2.0 port if possible. Older hardware sometimes fails to register correctly on USB 3.0/3.1 "blue" ports. Verification: Press Windows Key + R, type joy.cpl, and hit Enter. The Game Controllers window should list " NGS Black Hawk " or "Generic USB Joystick".

- Price: At $349 USD, it’s competing with entry-level direct-drive wheel bases. Casual simmers will balk.
- Weight: The metal base (without mounting holes) needs a heavy desk clamp or hard mounting. It will slide on a smooth surface under aggressive use.
- No Console Support: PS5 and Xbox are not recognized. PC and Linux only.
- Limited Buttons: For a “driver’s joystick,” I would have liked two more thumb buttons. The current layout favors flight sims slightly more than heavy equipment.
1. Prepare
- Unbox & inspect: Ensure joystick and cable undamaged.
- PC requirements: Windows 10/11 or macOS 10.15+; USB-A or USB-C port (use adapter if needed).
- Backup: Save current controller profiles/settings from any sim or control software.
