NONE! except for the label on the USB cord, saying I will be exposed to lead.

Amazing Stick, worth the $80. The Throttle also feels like it has a friction lock in it too.

Drivers not compatible with windows XP

The Saitek X-45 joystick is well worth the money,it has many buttons and dials to keep your hands off the keyboard. It also has a rudder control on the throttle. And a friction control screw,screw it one way and the throttle will move more easily and faster. Turn it the other way and it will be slower and sometimes harder to push and pull. The biggest probelm is that its drivers are NOT conpatible with windows XP(it will work but messes up from time to time). Theres also slots on the bottom of both the joystick and throttle so you can put nails in your desk(or what ever it will be resting on) and secure the joystick and/or throttle. It also has 3 hat switch's.

A great joystick, the best ever, works great with FS and even better with Combat FS due to the "fire key" set up.

Pros:
|
gadgets
|
|
Cons:
|
stick seem to have an Overcam action
|
|
Full travel seems to ignore widening angles in the vabling or other reason that gives over travel on the extremes of its bank.
To me it never feels Natural or intuitive or suited to fine responses. A pretty sparkling toy that has me unplugging it for the MS Sidewinder stick it was meant o relace...oh hang on I'm talking its biggr brother teh X52

Pros:
|
Solidly built, long-lasting, full of features, programmable buttons, adjustable stiffness on throttle
|
|
Cons:
|
lacks decent mounting / sticky tabs
|
|
This is an excellent joystick system and well worth the money. Sturdy, well-built and full of features, it's a great addition to the simulator experience. No significant disadvantages come to mind.
