cheap joystick

[straffo]

Hello gents,


I'll be soon far from house with a laptop and more free time than actually
I'll need to bring a cheap joystick as a substitute for my full ch setup

I've heard so much horror stories about the logitech I'm sure I don't want one and  as microsoft is out of the market what model  at about 50$ should I choose ?

My "spare"  or substitute stick is a saitek evo force.  I'll never accept anything less than my CH stuff but thats probably the best cheap all round stick that won't break straight away.

Saitek Avi8tor

dual throttle and a WWII like look, with the same features than the EVO

Good move staying away from the logicrap.
I had one for a while, and to it's credit it was still functioning when I upgraded to the X52. It was a nasty stick though, I do remember a time when they were actually quite nice but that was 13 years ago.

Your best bet is the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro 2. Nope, they're not manufactured anymore  but chances are you can find one on Ebay for less than $30. It's a VERY smooth and reliable twisty stick.

sorry I'll be using french to talk to straffo as I'm too drunk to traduce in english 

Les microsofts sont pas mal car c'est du full optique, pas de problème d'usure des potentiomètre et une belle précision mais t'auras du mal à en trouver maintenant.

L'avi8tor est vraiment pas mal du tout et à par les microsoft d'occas t'auras du mal à trouver mieux. Seul problème c'est que le stick est très dur comme tout les saitek et quand tu viens du fighterstick c'est pas évident, mais ça marche. La preuve c que j'ai déjà atteri un 10 kill en Yak avec çà

Amen.One of the best sticks ever made with twisty included.Almost wish I had one still but my CH stuff is better

[Spikes]

ST290Pro is around $20
AV8R is $40

Max nailed it.

MS Sidewinder Prec Pro's and Sidewinder Prec 2 USB's sell for around 30$ on ebay.

If I was to go to a stick other than sidewinder it would be the Saitek Aviator for around 40$ (have seen specials where they go for quite a bit less)
