    I've got a Saitek X-52, i wouldn't buy it unless you flight sim ( I do).

    If your buying specifically for BF2 go for a Logitech Wingman or Saitek Cyborg/evo. Versatile and far cheaper in comparison, with systems like the X-52 (HOTAS [Hands On Throttle And Stick])

      Logitech 3D Extreme Pro

      It gives the right feeling of having a long cylindrical thing in your hand (Yea, i ripped off that tagline)

        No, Get Logitech Freedom 2.4 Cordless Joystick.
        It really is awesome. Its sleek, well designed, no Cords at all, doesnt interfere with your other wireless stuff(wireless internet, mouse, keyboard etc.).
        I just love the fact that it doesnt have wires. I can put it anywhere, play with it anywhere.
        It really makes my desk more clean, because of no wires. I can put it anywhere and then pick it up from there whenver I fly so it doesnt take up desk space....
        It really is awesome.

        Its easy to use, the buttons are well placed,it stands well. Its 50 dollars but I ts worth every penny.

            I have Saitek X-52. Awesome flight stick but alittle too much for BF2 unless you play Flight simulators too.

              Saitek Cyborg Evo... best bang for buck in my opinion.. quality product with lots of buttons. It's comfy too! 8000+ kills in plane/heli because of it. :p

                Logitech 3D Extreme Pro

                Just remember two things:
                LOTS OF BUTTONS and TWIST (meaning you can twist the stick on a horizontal plain)....

                    Logitech MX510 Gamer Mouse + High end Logitech keyboard.
                    I don't fly planes very well (would want a joystick if I was to be serious about that), but I've found the mouse to be a great interface for flying the helies.

                        Ditto. I love my x52 setup, as I've been a flight simmer for many years and it has been the absolute best "bang for buck" HOTAS I've ever owned. But if this is just for BF2, go with something like the Saitek Evo as some others have mentioned, I had one before my x52 and loved it.

                          Hey thats the one I have. Its one of the best joysticks ever in my opion. Everything is placed so conviently on the Sidewinder. Wow the x52 looks so high tech compared to the Sidewinder.
