Digital Stick Recommendations?
« on: November 04, 1999, 10:20:00 AM »
OK, it's time for me to buy a new joystick.  I am interested in getting a digital stick, and would like an "all in one" solution.  Can anyone give me some input?  Some of the sticks that fit my criteria are:

Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro
Saitek Cyborg 3D
Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital
InterAct Cyclone Digital

Thanks

Picked up a Thrustmaster Reflex 3D last weekend and did not regret it.  This stick has made my AH experience enjoyable once again (just about quit because of my spiking M$ stick).  Its smooth as silk, comfortable, and a joy to use.  It has 8 buttons (4 on the stick 4 on the base), 8-way view hat, throttle, and twisting axis for rudder control.  It also uses USB for the interface.

FWIW - I might be wrong about this, but I don't think there's any utility to program the stick (or at least any that I could find).  But this is much of a non-issue with newer sims.
