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.

I love my new Wingman Interceptor [ had extreme digital before]

Good ?,
I would also like to hear some feedback from you all.
I have an ageing (3yrs) SW 3D pro, Its been bery bery good to me, but it may be time to put it on the shelf.
thanks,
