Logitech is among the best-known manufacturers of various PC accessories, the company launching, over the past couple of years, a wide range of racing wheels, gamepads and joysticks. One of the most interesting products from the latter category is the Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick, which, despite being initially launched way back in 2002, still offers users just about everything they might want from such a peripheral, including here wireless freedom.



The joystick offers quite an extensive level of control within games, as it's been equipped with 10 programmable buttons, including a durable metal trigger, eight-way hat switch, twist handle, and precise throttle. Plus, the device is accompanied by the Logitech Profiler software (PC), which grants users access to such features as advanced button customization, multiple controller configurations, and printable gaming profiles.



The fact that users are freed from the issue of wires could actually prove to be a very important incentive in the case of this peripheral. The joystick uses the 2.4 GHz wireless frequency and has a working range of around 6 meters, a radius within which the manufacturer guarantees that there won't be any lags or dropouts.



It's also interesting to note that Logitech's peripheral is far from being power-hungry, since users will be able to enjoy up to a whopping 50 hours of continuous gameplay with just three AA batteries. Indeed, two days of non-stop gaming might not seem to be that much, but the truth of the matter is that very few people spend



The Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick sells for around 60 US dollars, a rather normal price point for such a product, especially if we take into account the fact that the sales package includes just about everything one needs in order to get his game going: the device itself, a 2.4 GHz receiver, a Setup guide, profiler software CD-ROM, 3 AA batteries and a 1-year warranty.
