Freedom 2.4 is loaded with features. These features include than 50 hours of gameplay provided by three AA batteries (included), while ten programmable buttons, an eight-way hat switch, and a twist handle allow for the ultimate in joystick control. The joystick also includes a pager-sized receiver with a Status Indicator and a USB connector.

The new joystick features an eye-catching design straight out of a gaming laboratory from the next millennium, with a sleek handle that's been designed for comfort and excellent access to the buttons and hat, and a rugged, stable rubber base.
