Wore out my joystick!

[WhardieJones]

I flew the J10 one too many times and actually wore out my joystick. I'm going to try to send it back for a warranty. As a temp replacement I bought one of those cheapo joysticks from best buy and of course it sucked *** and returned it yesterday. Looks like I'm going to be grounded from BF2 indefinately...

that's one way to ground a J10. Just think you'll get more practice at other things making you a better all around soldier/team mate.

I remember doing that with my N64 controller joysticks :laugh:

With a J10 you don't need a joystick...

Go with a high end Saitek. My X45 has lasted forever. It's probably going into my will.

If you have a Logitech Extreme 3D pro its ok. The one I have currently is my 8th one.

That's what you get for flying J-10'S why do you buy a joystick if you fly a J-10 it doesn't even requires skill?

Well let's forget that and just send it over for some warranty thingy thing.

Excessive use I'd say.

I've worn out one of those wireless Logitech ones and am currently using a Force 3d Pro. No complaints and has been very well used.

The twist gets ****ed up after a while and your gonna start to swerve off the runway.

Re: Wore out my joystick!

I really liked the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, but after wearing out 2 of them, I bought a Saitek Cyborg EVO. I dont like it at all. It looks like it will last longer than the Logitech but Im not sure if its worth it. I really liked the feel of the Logitech and maybe Ill buy another one even though I know its gonna break.

DXTweak2, unbelievable how much Ive dragged my Attack 3, after its potentiometers were totally fvcked up. If a normal guy would have thrown the stick out, I extended the use of mine for 4 good months.

And that was my first stick, excessive use coupled with too much appled power made Attack 3 into unusable stick in just 3 months.

Anyway, thanks to good impressions from Metallica and PW, I grabbed myself a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, and its awesome. Placed a new soft spring, fixed the small gap in twist, tweaked with DXTweak2 to have faster response when pulling up (I have normal sensitivity on all, but when I pull up, its at max at 50%), and for dogfighting and F35B use I have profile created to set roll to max at 50%.

All in all, best bang for the buck is definitely Logitech Extreme 3D Pro.
