Thread: for those interested in a Wireless Joystick
And now you can get it wireless!
I still don't understand peoples fascination with wireless technology though...

The Cyborg Evo is my favourite Joystick. Its just got everything you need, with a good price-tag and it lasts for ages.

i used to be the same way, but the range on this joystick is insane. that, and i play on my alienware laptop in my living room, i can sit back in my couch comfortably and use the joystick without skipping a beat.
i used to be all about the sidewinder force feedback lines (still have for my main PC), but i like the Evo Wireless way more.
I guess if my Sidewinder Precision Pro ever breaks I need to find a used one for sale somewhere, it's just perfect for my needs and the market doesn't offer a single other solution that I'd prefer over it, except maybe things like the x52, but that's quite a bit of overkill IMHO

Tried the Evo and hated it, the design decision to make the exact same model useable for left and right hand ppl lead to a not-so-perfect placement of the base buttons (depending how you use it either those on the left or right are not comfortably reachable IMHO, so uncomfortable that I only consider half of the base buttons actually usable). Additionally I didn't really like the throttle control (placement and design).

i kinda half agree with you there, the base buttons are a bit intrusive, but i dont think it's as bad as ya say. the evo wireless is actually a slightly smaller footprint.
i've been a sidewinder fan since the day i got my first forcefeedback years ago, but i have to say, the evo wireless smoked it. i dont remember when i had this much control in my flight sim games, without a huge setup like the x45 or 52 or a thrustmaster combo.
