 XBOX 360 Cyborg F.L.Y. 9 wireless flightstick review September 5, 2010
Big Duke
I was extremely disappointed with the performance of this product during my first use. The stick "action" felt too stiff and it was very difficult making micro adjustments in targeting. This was with Sturmovik: Birds of Prey. My initial reaction was to sell it as it was too frustrating to use. The button layout was fine and easy to learn. The exception is the RSB and LSB buttons are located in awkward positions in the front of the unit. It does not have force feedback or vibration as advertised by Mad Katz. I too called Mad Katz only to be told it did by someone who clearly was not in touch with their product. I later tried H.A.W.X. For whatever reason the performance was markedly more responsive. YEAH! With this "glimmer of hope" I decided to not give up on this product and 3 days later I'm glad I didn't....This thing ROCKS!!!! Once you get used to it the level of control is remarkable! With some minor adjustments you can personalize the stick to fit any hand. To help with the initial stiff feeling "cycle" the stick for a few minutes by gently rotating the stick, this will " break it in " so to speak and soften the spring action. With a little use you will find this to be a great product. If it had vibration or force feedback it would be the a "no brainer" for the XBOX as we don't have many options. Get it and practice with it and you will be dropping the enemy out of the skies in no time!!!!
 Good concept, but some major flaws August 17, 2010

This flight stick has a great design. Most of the important fit paramaters (height, rake angle, head angle) are adjustable to make it quite comfortable to use. The button placement is great for the games that it is compatible with. My complaint is that there is too much of a dead-zone when moving the stick. If you are trying to make minor adjustments, the stick has to be pushed well outside of the center position before any movement registers. This makes fine control during these games difficult.
Overall, this is an awesome product idea; it would be much more user friendly if the movement tracking was more sensitive when making small motions.
Great looking, fun to use, well built stick April 28, 2010

This is a great stick for playing pretty much any flight combat game on the 360. It uses Microsofts own wireless technology, so just like the controllers... you just hit the guide button and you are ready to play. It has two settings via a switch for different games. Most everything uses the A setting and only a game or two use B. The stick comes with a little plastic wrench that allows you to adjust stick height and button placement, which is really nice if you hands are bigger or smaller than the default setting.
The aesthetics(look)of the stick is slick. Better than the other two out there(Ace Edge and Madcatz older stick). The acceleration is handled by a slider towards the back of the stick, which offers a perfect amount of tension so you dont overshoot your target speed. Button placement is perfect and allows you to easily maneuver through the most difficult of tasks. The stick twists for rudder control.
Battery life is the same as Microsofts gamepads, about 20-30 hours. You cannot use charge and play battery packs with this, only AA's, as the bottom of the stick wouldnt have allowed for the extra clearance needed for them... which is just fine. The stick is stable whether on a table or in your lap. It comes with attachments for your lap that can be attached or not.
My only gripe with this stick and why it didnt get a 5, is the fact that Madcatz themselves told me that this stick had rumble feedback and unfortunately, it doesnt. I love rumble feedback in games and doing without it took a lot of getting used to. luckily, I have a transducer attached to my theater chairs to give that kick. The tension in the stick is also just a tad loose for my tastes, not terrible... but I love it tight and unfortunately, there is no way to adjust it(other than buying your own tighter spring)
Overall, it is a great stick and perfect for armchair pilots such as myself. Feedback would have made this the perfect stick. As-is though, the wireless makes up for it and creates an awesome in-game flight experience that works perfectly with every flight game on the 360.
