Cheap, small joystick?
 
Hi guys, I've just flogged my X52 Pro as I can't justify either the cost or the footprint it takes on my desk.

Can you guys recommend a decent quality replacement that is much cheaper/smaller? I've been out of the joystick buying market for quite some time! :yep:

Thanks, in advance.

A small joystick with little footprint? :hmmm: Isn't that called a mouse? :D

Some of these are very high recommended... http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...oryID.35208800

Saitek's Cyborg EVO Force (or without Force) comes to mind.

also by visiting the Saitek's website the other day I came onto this page throught one of Saitek's links

http://cyborggaming.com/

they seem to got some nice joysticks for a very good price.

Good luck adjusting to any other joystick after X52. :DL

Looking for a cheap, small joystick?

...I'm surprised and disappointed that no one here has made a joke about looking in your trousers yet... :hmmm:

The joke would be better if it was like this:
Frau:"I need a new toy, so I'm looking for a cheap joystick of manageable size"
Rest of us:"pull down Dowly's pants, the hardest, cheapest, and smallest one you can find!":arrgh!:

I must confess I saw this thread when the OP first posted and it took everything I had NOT to reply to it. :haha: Thought about offering to PM him an old boyfriend's phone# but then I realized I've been, uh, pretty lucky in that regard. :yeah:

Thanks guys, I new I could rely on Hunter and Jan for sensible answers (nearly!). Two out of eight replies - not a bad rate here :O:

I've got my old Sidewinder somewhere, I'll have to dig that out for the time being. At least I have some desk space back, and some cash :woot:

Dowly 02-09-11 07:29 AM

Well, how much smaller do you want? :hmmm:

Herr-Berbunch 02-09-11 07:41 AM

I think something without a separate throttle this time, the myriad buttons are great, and the MFD but I lived without them before and I can again!

I can! :o

I will! :cry:

I must! :wah:

Dowly 02-09-11 11:32 AM

Ah, ok. Well, EVO like Hunter suggested is a pretty good option.

Tho, if you have or you're planning to get DCS:Black Shark, then I'd seek for another stick than the EVO. The Kamov's trimmer and EVO aren't talking. :O:

Thanks Dowly (:know:) No immediate plans for Black Shark but do have eye on A-10, and no, I don't plan on getting the Warthog HOTAS setup :cry:, not for another decade until the kids have gone (if ever!).

Does the non-FF Evo have the issue with DCS:BS? Strictly FF related right? :06:
