The buttons and toggles felt cheap to me and the flight stick itself kept clicking whenever it came across a certain axis. But the thumbstick button press and all the other buttons on the flight stick stopped working. I was in the middle of playing Elite Dangerous when all the buttons on the flight stick stopped working. For starters the throttle is so lubricated on the inside that if it sits for a while, it becomes so gummed up that it becomes difficult to move it at all, regardless of the resistance setting on the side. The switches, knobs and buttons feel solid - time will tell how they hold up, but they feel good so far. adjustable tension on both the throttle and stick Soooo many buttons, each switch on the base of the throttle is a toggle essentially doubling the amount of switches that you have. I assigned them to my all of my translation thrusters that I had previously assigned to the two throttle hat switches on my x55. All the switches and dials turn and work as expected. I don't have much of a use for them though. The buttons / clock on the throttle don't really seem to work. But over all, it might be more annoying to some, such as when flying a helicopter. Likely for locking the thrust and preventing further movement of the thrust axis when on ground, or locking into afterburner or maximum thrust while in flight. 
There is a catch at minimum and maximum thrust axis. While the stick does not advertise it, I do believe this stick uses HEART technology even though it is not advertised (as it should be). The rudder axis is also very precise, and the x-y axes are just insane. The throttle is very precise, the rotary axes are very precise. I am very impressed with the design and quality of the materials used. This feels like a real piece of equipment and not a toy. 
Lots of buttons and hats to keep me keyboard-free in Elite. Lots, and lots of customization with the software. Smooth, and precise control, feels like you got your money's worth.
