Which Joystick is best?

Also, get a product replacement plan so you can get a new stick if yours falls to pieces.

Repair-funding is more cost-effective than a replacement plan (throw 10% of any given thing's cost into a repair fund, effectively self-insurance). Unless you're buying a piece of crap.

That's a good idea, but for a $50 joystick the plan is probably like $10. $10 for unlimited free new joysticks for a few years seems like a better deal to me.

I have a Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 but I bought a Saitek Cyborg Evo because the Sidewinder feels really bad. The X and Y axes are really separated so it feels weird to move the joystick diagonally. Also, under hard rudder the stick feels like it's going to break. The buttons also feel bad. The Cyborg is leaps and bounds above it.

OMFG, I HAVE A SIDEWINDER PRECISION 2 (not pro i think), AND I ALMOST BOUGHT THE CYBORG EVO (then i decided wasn't worth the money and spent 20 bucks on Ace Combat 5 for PS2, best decision EVER). But ya, the diagnol is so unusual, it has like a damn CORNER for when u move the joystick diagonally. I'm a good pilot ( i have a TON of flight sim games, i jsut decide to have fun in BF2 and purposely suicide on a tank when i miss with bombs), but BF2 just ain't the game to be a pilot in.

I have the logitech extreme 3d pro and i love it a lot. It has such smooth movement and resistance that no saitek i have used ever had.
