re joystick suggestions it depends on what you d like your joystick for i ve seen gravis joysticks at radio shack they seemed flimsy and didn t fit well in my hand i have heard on c s i p games that they don t last well less than a year on flightsims one redeeming feature does seem to be the ability to adjust the tension of the stick i recently purchased a ch flightstick there aren t any suction cups and no tension adjusters but otherwise it seems to be an excellent joystick i m currently using it for the wing commander series and red baron works quite well the large base does not require a steadying hand and so leaves it free the buttons provide good tactile response you can hear and feel them well there are other models made by ch that can go up or down in features for price comparison gravis analogue joysticks sell for here compared to the i paid for a ch flightstick i think the extra is worth it just in feel best thing to do is to ask a salesperson to let you try them out or at least feel it before you buy just another note analogue joysticks are best for flightsims or something that needs sensitive touch if you re only playing games such as castle wolfenstein or some other game that only uses digital input ie only up down left etc instead of how much right you might want to look into a gravis gamepad they look like a nintendo control pad but i don t know much beyond that will christie aatchoo philosophy the principles and university of manitoba uh oh science of thought and reality winnipeg mb canada i m leaking philosopher someone who thinks chrstie ccu umanitoba ca brain lubricant they re useful to society
