Joysticks

Post by Pegasusbelgar »

One of the main reasons I have not been playing lately was my trusty old MS precision pro starting causing problems where the fire buttons would not work or sometimes the input to turn freezes, so I thought maybe its time to invest in a new joystick. So what is out there thats fairly decent? I dont want something like Reddog uses I just do not have the deskspace and of course I play other games so an X52 setup would be a waste of money.
Miss flying with you guys so like to get back up there. Was thinking something like a Saitek Cyborg Evo or ST290 would be a decent replacement?
Let me know what you chaps think?

Ordered a new Saitek Cyborg X so should be with me in a few days, I have noticed while playing Rise of Flight for 3 hours yesterday my old joystick did not hang so hopefully will try it again in ww2online and see how it fairs, so hopefully do a few missions with you chaps.
