 What Joystick Do You Recommend? I have been using a mouse for nearly three years, and want to spring for a joystick. A friend gave me one, but only Windows drivers are available. Which brands and/or models of joystick currently available would you recommend? Advice much appreciated!

Re: What Joystick Do You Recommend? I'm sure it's not the best stick out there, but for the price I've found the Logitech Wingman Extreme 3D Pro to be a good basic stick. I had an older Wingman Extreme in the OS9 days and now have the 3D Pro version (silver and black, 12-button, throttle, twist rudder). Personally the twist rudder is just a bit flaky, sometimes jerking full left or right, but it's better than no rudder control at all. If you have the money I'd spring for some real rudder pedals.

Re: What Joystick Do You Recommend? i have been thinking about a new stick but the one i have still works great. I have had it since 1999 but it has no rudder twist, It is a CH product. Combatstick http://www.chproducts.com/retail/j_combat.htmlgreat construction but like i said no rudder and i have never gotten pedals.

Re: What Joystick Do You Recommend? Saitek Cyborg as well (I use the Evo model) or a Thrustmaster ; you should be able to find cheap 2nd hand ones.
Look for a model with a 'Hat' switch.
Cheers!

Re: What Joystick Do You Recommend? logitech extreme 3d pro. I lost mine in the last move, but my wife went around my back and bought another off amazon. Less than $30 and they usually last a long time. The other one I bought in 2006 and I would still be using it if it wasn't in some box along with some of my socks.

Re: What Joystick Do You Recommend? Man! Quite a wife you’ve got there… You guys seem to be loosing your stick all the time, as if someone was hiding it away once in a while.
