Hey guys I got me a new joystick! I wouldent know if it was the best one though I was gonna pick up a saitek but I went with the Logitech wingman forcefeedback. It works great I feel, the only problem is it stops working in the middle of a game, then I cant control my plane. I have to actually restart my computer from then on to get it working again....
Thoughts?

Hate to say it, but I agree with FR that if you can, return it. Logitech rudder pots will be dead on you in a matter of weeks or months. . .and you'll need to return it then anyway. Seriously it's almost 100% failure with eh Logitech rudder. . . dunno why it's still like that. They are comfy sticks, but just simply not built well enough to get my ham fisted stamp of approvalS!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

That is unless you can find an old Wingman Force....I mean the OLD one... I have two now...have had one of them for years...4 or so and it is still rock steady! Other than OLD....grab something new and reliable!Regards,TX-Rahman"BLACK 4"

Well,I have had long life out the microsoft sticks though I don't really like the light feel and the few buttons, I think Copper has the Saitek Evo and he really liked it. . . Saitek has some other issues over teh liong term,but I think that they are nothing worse than the other longer lasting sticks. . . in the saitek's case it's usually a button that stops working after a year or two. . . which is less of a pain than having a spiking crazy rudder after a months worth of use.You know if you shop at BestBuy I hear you can get their replacement warranty thingy. . . and if you end up needing to use it once every two years. . heck. . thats a life of stick ownership for not TOOOO much money ;-)S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

My Saitek has worked almost flawlessly over the last year. The Logitech lasted maybe 4 months then calfed. My vote goes to Saitek for the economical stick. Feel really adventurous, then opt for the Saitek X-45...separate throttle control, and a heap of buttons.

Sput, i've had my eye on this Saitek stick for quite some time, but the Cougar just keeps trucking right along (amazing, actually)... http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/x52.htmI think it can be had for between $100-$125 at the local Comp store. Good luck!TX-Deck out. |
