The ACT Labs Eagle Max is a programmable joystick designed for PC gaming in the late 1990s. It connects via a 15-pin gameport and includes a keyboard passthrough to preserve a keyboard port. The stick features 12 buttons, a throttle wheel, an 8-way hat switch, two trim wheels, and a three-position rocker switch. Its signature feature is hardware-based macro programming: all button assignments are set directly on the stick using a setup switch, requiring no software and allowing on-the-fly changes during gameplay. Four macro banks let users switch between configurations for different games or flying phases. The Eagle Max uses microswitches for all buttons, providing tactile and aural feedback, and its base is weighted with steel bars for stability. The yoke has a textured grip and a palm rest, though some aesthetic elements like molded eagle eyes and shingle-like ridges are divisive. It comes with a 20-page manual, drivers for DirectX, and a one-year warranty. The Eagle Max requires a 15-pin gameport that supports two joysticks.
