joystick

[jane]

Hey my bud from BF wants a joystick. What should he get?

[Playaa]

bleh, I have an old school Logitech Wingman and it works plenty fine...cost $10...

I like the classic Microsoft one with force feedback.

 

But.

 

Logitech makes some nice ones too.

 

There is one company that makes a wireless line of joysticks.

 

Cant think of the name though.

 

Swoop had one for a little while I think.

Saitek perhaps? I don't know if they make wireless joysticks, but they do make really nice joysticks. I know one complaint Swoop had was the lack of a rotating stick. The rudder is instead controlled by a button on the throttle. I have an older Saitek setup, it's got about 36 buttons between the stick and throttle. Very cool, once you learn it. For BF1942 though, it's a waste, since the game only recognizes one controller, and the Saitek setup is 2 seperate controllers. So I'm forced to use my old Thrustmaster, which works fine.

I love my usb Precision2 js from Microsoft, the office depot down the street closed down and i got the joystick for 15 bucks on sale..

[[Mmmm]Homer]

I've heard good things about a Saitek Gold somethingorother.

Swoop has this one, the Logitech Freedom:

 

And gave me this one, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro when he got it:

 

Both are sweet.
