What's the best joystick?

Jump

JSR wants your opinions on the best joystick for gaming.

GrimGriz

MS FF2 - unless it's limited to joysticks currently in production. In that case I'd hop on the X52 wagon.

Jump

If it's available at amazon it as good as in production.

Well, thanks for all the input folks.

Ive worked my way through 8 joysticks playng jumpgate, (3 of which were saitek cyborgs) but so far my evo ffb has lasted the longest and continues without drift.

In my defence though, its not that I'm hard on them its just I do tend to max out on the movements when I'm on the jazz

Argyris

Sidewinder FF2, not in production anymore but well available on eBay

Aphelion

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro, Original Version!

They're cheap (about $10 w/shipping if you're lucky). They're accurate. They fit your hands better than a FF2. Did I mention they're cheap??? lol While the FF2 had many improvements over the FF1, including better accuracy, wear and button precision/life, the FF1 is still just as accurate when they're new (slightly used). I've owned 3 and they take about 2 years of solid Jumpgate playing to wear out before you have to spend *GASP* another ten bucks on one.

Just don't get ripped off on Ebay with a bad used one. Make sure you get one that's nice n tight.

uSoft Sidewinder FF2, without question. The original, non-FF was good but had a bad habit of drifting.

hey, if you play with a tiny joystick, that's nothing to be ashamed of. Size doesn't matter right?

I'll post at a later time. I'm looking at getting a CH products setup in the near future for AH.
