Post by: SilverZ06 on April 16, 2012, 12:18:20 PM
does any one know of a small/travel joystick? I'd like to get one to take on the road when I travel. I did a quick Google search but came up empty. any suggestions?

This is the one I used when I was on the road. CLICK HERE (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=Saitek+Aviator&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=UZv&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&prmd=imvnsfd&resnum=4&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1920&bih=864&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=3431267903163312017&sa=X&ei=QJ2MT9D3Esje0gHH_ZTDCQ&ved=0CIUBEPMCMAM). It worked ok but it was a long way from my CH stuff. Made coming home that much more fun!

Try the Saitek Cyborg V1, you can take off the base (which is more or less the same size as the stick itself), twisty stick, hat views, throttle located right in behind the stick (it's a small lever), 6 mappable buttons.

Rough estimate is about 10 inches length wise and 4 inches wide without the base. No screws, no bolts, made of plastic but very durable (had mine for 2 years now, still works perfectly). It's about $20.
