Shopping for a Joystick

[Wildcat-87]

So I haven't been able to fly much since my joystick broke.
Was wondering if anyone had some good recommendations for a new one.

Thanks:blind:

My Logitech Extreme 3DPro (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Extreme-Joystick-Silver-Black/dp/B00009OY9U) has served me well.

Mine just broke also. I replaced it with Saitek PS38 Cyborg F.L.Y5 Flight Stick (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001EYU1VO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00). Taking a little getting used to since the one I had was very basic with no twist rudder control like this new one has.

...sounds like an epidemic of stick breakdowns

I use the Saitek Cyborg F.L.Y. 5 Stick for PC with my laptop and the Saitek X52 systen with rudder pedals on my desktop. :wiggle:

Yeah the one that broke was a logitech one. Lasted me a couple of years though. I took a look at those sailtek ones and they do look nice. Thanks very much for the help:applause::salute:

I think joysticks are very much a case of how much you want to spend. Over a lot of years I used the Saitek X36 ...X52... and X52 pro. For the money, they were all excellent, each one passed on to someone else after several years of use in full working order, so, I highly recommend Saitek. However, for the last year I've been using the Thrustmaster Warthog. The difference is such that I could never go back to the saitek. For me, it's about the same difference as driving a Ford (which I do) and driving a Mercedes Benz (which I've just test driven) The Ford now has to definitely go.

My old joystick finally gave out on me in December, lasted me a long long time, was a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 that I bought back in 1999 when I first got CFS1. Think I got my moneys worth out of that one. Replaced it with a Thrustmaster T.16000M and so far I'm loving it, but it's only been a couple weeks since I got it. Only issue I've had with it is remembering what I mapped to where on it's 16 buttons.:banghead:

If you enjoy banging your head against the wall in frustration, falling out with your wife 'cause you yelled at her and throwing mugs of coffee at the screen, I would recommend the Logitech G940, otherwise save your sanity and plump for a Saitek X52. :icon_eek:

I still use my 2nd MS Sidewinder Precision 2. Found it at discount store in town new. My first lost a tactile switch to look left with the "Hat switch" and the trigger. 2nd is lossing the tactile switch to look left like the first. I fix it by getting a new tactile switch from Radio Shack or take it from the first one as it has Right, Up and Down that still works.

I also have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick. Much too stiff for my taste. I use it for the Win7 PC and BF1942.

I am happy with my Thrustmaster T.16000M.

I am using a Logitech Force 3D Pro, it has served me for many years without any problems, when it break down within the next 100 years it will be replaced with a Logitech again.
