Ok guys...I have gone through 4 Sticks and need to know which one will last more then a month. I have been using MicroSoft sidewinder presicion ll stick but it only lasts about 3 weeks or so. Then it's back to the store for a new one. Any help would be apreciated.  

Thanx

Hey Slow Dog,

Ive been using a saitek Cyborg Gold 3D with a USB connection for three years without a problem.  Its a solid stick.

I have tried just about every stick out there and CH products is by far the best. Get the Full usb pro stick throttle and pedals. Ch costs more than the others out there but it will be the last stick you buy.

Slow dog, I suggest you stop throwing them at the wall when you get shot down ;)

I love the MS products.  I have had 4 MS Sidewinders derivatives over the past years.  I have one I deploy with with my laptop.  One at my house.  One that is in the closet.  And one that my dog chewed up (still works just is kinda mangled).  

Not sure why you are having so many problems with the stick.  Remember dont sit on them.  Dont throw them at the wall.  Dont put them in the dishwasher.:D
