Really - WTF? Joysticks?

[coolVariable]

WTF is wrong with PC gaming that apparently nobody makes joysticks anymore?
There is an abundance of stupid gamepads/game controllers (bluetooth and USB) but it appears impossible to find a "cheap" bluetooth joystick.

WTF?!



Looks like you posted in the wrong forum.

bluetooth?


PEBKAC.

No to bluetooth. Just no.

Best of the cheap joysticks if you can find it under MSRP:
Thrustmaster T-16000M

If you are a serious flight sim guy you will save your pennies for a proper HOTAS setup with a pricier joystick...

Came into this thread a little confused because I was just at the local BB and they had several joy sticks on display, though, admittedly, 'fancy' brands.

Get a saitek x52 pro on eBay. Great stick but confusing software. For most games now a days they have profiles you just plug in.

Then some genius please tell me how I am supposed to use a USB joystick with a tablet that only has bluetooth.

There are hundreds of cheap gamepads with bluetooth but no joysticks.
WTF?

What does a tablet have to do with PC gaming? I thought you wanted something to work with your PC?

I don't know many people trying to use a joystick on a tablet, you are the first I guess.

Go ahead and let yourself out with that one.

I'd personally just not pick a P.O.S. tablet that only has Bluetooth. Surface has built-in USB, and stuff like the ASUS T100 and ASUS Transformer have keyboard docks with USB connections.

You have a great attitude. You must have lots of friends. 🙄

You come in here all cussing and acting super upset or something trivial. Then you reply with such a friendly tone to others all the while wanting something for a tablet.

Do us all a favor and don't ever post anymore. Thanks.
