What joystick are you guys using?

[Hakster]

First of all, sorry for posting this here, it should probably be in the Hardware & Software forum but there seem to be a LOT more people in this forum so...

I´m about to buy a new joystick, a Saitek X-36 usb, and I´m a bit curious what joystick you guys are using.
Any opinions about the x-36 welcome.

Thanks in advance

TM w/throttle and pedals.

I think the next setup for me will be the above Saitek/CH pedal combo.

I like the old TM and it's been reliable for 3 years but.. time to get with more buttons, etc.

I use a Saitek X36 USB to fly Aces High, also used a CH Force FX stick. If you'd like a config file for your X36 to get you started drop me a line and I'll mail you mine, its setup for fighter and bomber ops using the slider switches.

X-36 USB with CH Pro USB Pedals... great combination, plus now with the latest patches you can get it to work with other games too.

Highly recommended.

I use all CH products;Pro throttle, Rudder pedals, and F-16 Combatstick; the only thing I would change is the Combatstick for the Fighter stick. More options with the later. Get the best Hakster, you won't regret it!

I use CH F16 Combatstick (10 buttons + coolie + throttle slider)and the CH pro peds, they work fine for me. I am thinking of adding a CH throttle to this collection to make it complete but i dunno if i can remember all the programmed buttons on the throttle than  .

Revvin, I would appreciate the config file.

Thanks

I'm using a Micro$oft Precision Pro 2 USB... so far it's rock-solid. I plan on scrapping it for the Thrustmaster Cougar when they release it. Right now, I've got an F16 FLCS/TQS/RCS collecting dust in the closet. Too many spikes.

Non USB CH Janes Combat Stick with CH Pro Throttle and CH Pedals.  Little spikie after 5 years but still going strong.  Have purchased the USB CH Combat Stick and Pro Pedals and am waiting for the USB Pro Throttle.

Well, I gives a reserved recommendation on the X-36 as it goes thru HAT switches like sh*t thru a goose at which point ya gotta send it in for replacement or fix. (Creamo can confirm this as well as myself and others)

I'm currently using a MS FF Joystick (connected via gameport), the Saitek X36 throttle (USB), and CH USB Pro pedals.

Saving up my pennies for the TM Cougar tho......it's ALL metal and will be THE TOP OF THE LINE when it hits the streets at $299 I'm gonna need to do alotta wifeypoo asskissin' to get it but the features list is  gonna make this one expandeable stick.
