i wont find out until after night class.

i was getin scared that i couldn't run the software because i have 64 bit windows. luckly saitek was on top of that, downloading drives now, play after school.

joystick for sale:
Microsoft Precision 2
8 buttons
8 way hat switch
throttle
rudder twist

used, but in good order, no problems with it. comes with software, but not really needed.

$15 + shipping.
