X52 Finally died Need new Joystick. What do you all reccomend?

[guncrasher]

I traded in my x52 stick for a ch fighterstick.  ch fighterstick is a good stick, but just looks too plain compared to my old x52.  but the biggest gripe everybody has with ch sticks are always the top buttons are hard to reach specially if you have little girl hands like mine.  i got used to it pretty fast, since i am pretty good at moving hands around the keyboard (not like that you peverts).   still sometimes I wish i had my x52 back.

Same here.  The best thing Microsoft ever made.  You can still find good, used ones on Ebay.  Picked a second one up (brand new and in the box) for $100.00 dollars last year.

Found this one if you're interested:

Kaz picked up an absolute minter for £25 on ebay, always look in the picture for wear marks on the base of the handle and left thumbrest if theres wear its been used a lot, no wear = mint. No idea why Microsoft cancelled it, it still rapes every stick made these days for reliablity and precision, I despise Microsoft but a good product is a good product.
