looking for a new joystick

[Moebius078]

Hi!

Since my old joystick, a Logitech Wingman 3D is awfully inaccurate (especially the z-axis), i'm looking for a new one. I will use it occasionally for flight sims, such as Pacific Fighters, and also for games such as BF2. This implies that the stick needn't be top notch, just a decent one in the price range of 20-60€.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

They are one of the only makers nowadays, you are lucky they still produce them logitech makes a few but these are nicer.

The logitech freedom is nice though.

Apparantly, these joysticks are rather hard to get here in Belgium. I've found the Saitek Cyborg evo for around 70 €, which is way overpriced imo. (Advised retail price is around 45 €) But i'll be checking around and hope to find a better deal on the saitek sticks.

BTW: what product would you advise? According to the reviews, the Saitek Cyborg seems pretty good. Can anyone confirm?

Sorry, no clue the last time i used a joystick was like 10 years ago.

There was a discussion about joysticks on the gaming forum of THG; here is a link: http://forumz.tomshardware.com/games/Death-Joystick-ftopict97668.html
In the thread people mention what joysticks they are using/have used.
