The stick's ergonomics are a bit unusual. The horseshoe-shaped base's programmable buttons are primarily south of the stick itself, in a tight cluster comprised of two rows of two buttons. The contoured stalk-mounted buttons, however, are easy to find with the thumb, and the hat switch works quite well also. The fire trigger extends more than an inch from the stalk, and is extremely easy to find and use. All told, the fit and finish of the Saitek Cyborg 3D USB is quite good.
Documentation is sparse but effective.
An instruction sheet outlines connection and usage. The CD included with the Cyborg 3D includes a recent version of iMagic Online's WarBirds and a folder containing Apple's version 1.4 InputSprocket libraries. As with all USB devices, there's no need to shut down or restart the Mac prior to connecting it. Although the stick's oversensitivity is a bit daunting at first, it's nothing that can't be overcome with a quick calibration at the start of each game. All rights reserved.
