I'm looking to upgrade to a new joystick. Was wondering what other pilots are using or would recommend getting.
Thanks.

I use the Saitek Cyborg Evo. I like it a lot, lots a buttoms, throttle control, and rudder twist in the handle.

Hehe, I use W S A D to roll and increase/decrese throttle, and use a LED Logitec mouse to manuver, and I have no problems being as effective as any pilot I know who uses joysticks.
Just my preference

atm logitech seems to be horrible bugged....see "drunken bumble bee" post in tech forums...wouldn't recommend anything by them atm...
though most of the problems seem to be steming from the logitech wingman 3D force feedback...i wouldn't bet on anythin logitech...

Nope, even without feedback logitech sticks are whacked. I thought for sure it was game lag for awhile and couldn't fly, then it wasn't able to turn and I figured a broken stick. Only when I used the mouse to help a guildie out did I realize I wasn't lagging all of a sudden. Switched sticks and couldn't be happier.
Cyborg evo, great stick!

I use a CH products Pro Throttle USB and a F-16 Combatstick. The saitek is wierd, I held it in the store and it just feels funky. Besides i've always thought it cool that I use a control stick made by the same company that makes real aircraft control columns.

I use a saitek cyborg evo currently. I had a logitech extreme 3d pro, it went bad. It stopped turning right. I feel the logitech is the better stick, but apperently there have been alot of people who have gotten bad ones (I'm not saying they all are bad). I certainly do not love my Saitek, but it works.

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 1.
Unfortunately, when it dies, it will not be replaceable.
