Hi,

Just pulled out the old Gravis Phoenix to play some Starwars games and found that the stick has been broken somehow. It still works but it wobbles around a bit and is kind of annoying.
Can anyone recommend to me a good joystick? I'll only be using it for flight sims so it will need to be suitable for such.

thanks

The MS Sidewinders are considered one of the best I believe. I use a pad myself though :)

yes, SIDEWINDER FFB II USB, very nice, good feeling, very stable, if just the throttle-control would be a bit bigger/more handy.
nevertheless, i own one and i like it.

Logitech 3d extreme or something like that :)

I have the one with the twisting handle/rudder controll and love it. Really you need to go to a store where you can play around with them and see which one feels good to you.
