Let's start with the joysticks. Now Microsoft is out, the two joysticks we tested are the best-wired non-force feedback choice around at the moment. In any case, force feedback does much for a joystick, though I know that statement is going to get me a lot of indignant emails. It's all a matter of taste.

The Saitek Cyborg Evo with its settings and perfect stick travel will please those who like to tweak a lot. The flawless Logitech Extreme Pro will please everyone. The travel is a bit firm and that might not suit, but it will slacken. In short, these two are the classiest and most effective products available.
