Saitek X-45 , i love the throttle control, Joystick part sucks IMO though...too stiff and noisy. I've tinkered with the spring and loosened it up a little, seems to help alot.

Is a real pain to get working in BF42 and Vietnam.

The logitech extreme 3d pro serves me well.

I agree. Mine is 6 years old and I still use it. Works great, been using it since X-wing Alliance.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up going with the Saitek Cyborg EVO, I LOVE it! The X-45 was a bit too comlicated for my taste, the Cyborg was perfect. I love how I can adjust it to fit my huge hand.

I actually play swg with my mouse, but for all other flight sims I use my cyborg 3d gold #(Saitek), I've had it for years now, and it's held up grandly. Outlasted 2 keyboards and 6 mice
