Mmmh.. I have a Logitech Attack 3 , Its USB and performs pretty well when flying both Jets and Choppers, Twas also quite cheap.

Anything with a twist handle rudder is good.

Whatever you do don't get the Saitek monstrocity with the 3 collapsible legs. What dollar range are you looking at?

Re: BF2 USB Joystick

Is it USB Bus powered or requires it to be plugged in?

Re: BF2 USB Joystick

All joysticks except force feedback ones are guaranteed to be powered by the USB port. I wouldn't recommend getting a force feedback joystick anyways since it will be really expensive, and BF2 doesn't support force feedback

Re: BF2 USB Joystick

I'm looking for $20 to $30 maybe?

I picked up a Logitech extreme3d PRO (USB) for 23 at Target about 4 months ago. I cant imagine it being any more expensive now.

Re: BF2 USB Joystick

I know people who had it for a long time and it was pretty good I think. Maybe get the Logitech Extreme 3D. You don't have to deal with charging batteries and it might be cheaper. I personally use the Saitek Cyborg Evo but I'm not sure if it's over your budget.
