Well i've decided that wingman digital extreme 3d's are crap. And they stopped making my beloved MS Precision pro 2. So i figured i'd ask before i fork out my money :)

You can still get a Precision Pro 2 on amazon.com or ebay(amazon more likely). Last I checked, new in the box was around $50. Up to you if that's a good price or not for a stick no longer made.
Saitek Cyborg Evolution is a good stick alternative if you want a warranty.
Heard about the Thrustmaster twisty sticks(Thrustmaster Fox 2 Pro might be the best in their lineup), never tried them though. I can only vouch for Saitek.

I hear saitek has crappy hat switches that go out easily.
-
I don't have that problem with my current stick, a saitek cyborg 3d gold, 3 years old. Maybe I got lucky, who knows, as with everything else YMMV.
-
They stopped making precision 2s? Ive been using one for nearly 5 years now and cant bear the thought of losing it. :(
-
Yucca, what went wrong with your Logitechs? I've had two (current the Extreme 3D Pro) and prefer them to any others.

Well i did play alot when i used em. But i found that the hat switches got soft easily, i found problems such as the rudder would spike the roll or pitch axis and so would the throttle. A overall pain in the butt :P

I got my spare Prec 2 (usb) on ebay for 28 $ including shipping.
New ones (unopened) will run 50 - 60.
Mine had been opened, but the software/book was still in the original wrapper, cord still tied from the factory, etc.
