Planning to buy a new joystick

[spraduke]

Saitek Cyborg Evo here. Its seen very little use (occasionaly in BF2) but from what ive used its comfortable and responsive.

yah, or that, but he said he couldent find the adapter, so a cheap isa or pci soundcard could solve that .. if anyone still has isa slots in their computers...

I see.
Well, he could buy a new one, might be cheaper still.
Unless he still has a SC lying around.
Then again, using two SCs might bring some compatibility problems along, but so could the adaptor.

Oh well, whichever works for you.
Or just buy a new USB joystick

i use a logitech force feedback, its been good to me, but it seems many of the others here who pour coffee over thier joysticks dont like logitech.

Agreed fully. I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro and Ive had zero issues with it.

Aye... I had one of those. I treated it good, but I still used it for only four months before it developed severe electronics problems. I could have sent it in on warranty, but I wasn't satisfied with the crash-happy software anyway so I bought a Cougar to replace it.

I have a saitek cyborg gold, cheap, quite accuarate with a nice feel. Good for lefties as well. I wanna check out a T/master Fox2 if i can pick one up cheap- looks rugged and very cool- anyone use one?
About that game port adapter- some mobos accept a gameport straight onto it's pins via a ribbon, and you can mount in a vacant rear case slot where PCI cards sit.
Then again boards may have stopped doing this- i use socket a

Don't let her wait or you will be soon left alone with your stick

I use Saitek X36 for flying, Saitek P2500 for walking/running, Logitech MOMO FFB Wheel for driving. Saitek is the best, though I haven't ever used more expensive flight controllers like CH, but I like Saitek's design better.

I have Logitech Wingman Attack 2, I use it on IL-2 and then I have this jurassic TAC-2saurus from commodoric era.

So I bought the Cyborg Evo. Quite good from what I played so far. My only gripes would be the head of the stick which has some play in the configuration optimal for my hand. Oh and the right side buttons are very uncomfortable to get to that I might aswell use my keyboard for any of their functions.

I'm considering going out and getting a cyborg evo right now thats on sale for 39 (down from 60) but i need to call a place downtown to hold it (limited availablity) plus figure out if I can work it into my budget.

edit: bought it, testing it out now
