I have the perfect joystick. The Microsoft Precision Pro. The stick forces are light (but not sloppy), the control throws are short, and stick is marvelously balanced. But its 4 years old and wearing out.
So as a replacement, I bought a Logitech 3d pro extreme. It was horrible. The amount of pressure required to move the stick was enormous, so I returned it.
I then bought an X-52 stick/rudder combo. It looks cool, has lots of buttons, but the control throws are gigantic. You can pull on the stick for several inches in any direction before it reaches the stops. The rudder is unbalanced, requiring two to three times the force to use the rudder than to move the stick.
So I need a stick as close to the microsoft precision pro as possible. It needs to be a twisty stick, preferably with the throttle control on the left side of the base plate. Above all, the stick needs to be balanced, each axis requiring the same amount of force as the other. And the stick needs to have short to average control throws.
Anyone know of a stick that will fit my needs?
