Not sure if anyone still looks at this, but...


I have a logitech extreme 3d pro. It is a very nice joystick, except it does not stay calibrated, and there is no calibration software. The only way around this that I've found, is un-plugging it, and plugging it back in.

Since devs announce JTL will have joystick support many players have sought out to find that "perfect" joystick. Many sticks have been suggested all differing in style, price, and comfort. I took the time out to do some research on joysticks and thought i'd keep a compiled list of the favorites in the market today. Some of the sticks below have reviews attached but all direct you to the stick itself for your own look. Over time i'll continue to bump and add to the list and i welcome the community to add thier own stick suggestions as well. I'll look it up, post a link and find a review if there is one out there. I hope this helps the confused out there or those who've yet to evolve beyond the keyboard and mouse cause it is hard to find that one stick you really would like to enjoy and doesnt have things you dont need yet lacks the stuff you want.

Saitek X52 (Please Note: This Stick is at present Not offically compatible with JTL. Please buy at your own







Its totally time to update your posting... The x52 now works and has to be the best controller on the market. Feels amazing and honestly I cant use any other stick and throttle after using this godly stick. If you dont own one of these you are using garbage.

Try an Evenstrain Cougar, if you can get one. You can expect to pay about $1000 for it, sans rudder pedals. (For rudders, I recommend Sim Peds.) It's pricey, but you can't beat the performance. (And if you can afford a Ducati, then you can afford the Evenstrain Cougar.) There is nothing thatcomes close.
