I'm sure this topic has been done before.. but I haven't found a
recent answer..
I have the early model Saitek Cyborg 3D. Nice joystick at the time but
started displaying the left drift problem and now it's pretty bad.
So I want to buy a new one.. I tried force feedback back on a MS
Sidewinder (version 1) years ago and thought it was great, this was on
combat flight sim.
Now the post-xmas sales are going strong.. I think I should treat
myself to a FF joystick.. mostly to replay I-war 2, Freespace 2 and
god knows what other grub I can dig up. I hear that X2 has trouble
with FF.
So what will it be.. the options are limited and I have the cash for
any of them. I will try to test in store but generally I only find out
if I like something like this if I give it a good bash for a day or
two.
Logitech Force 3D, saitek evo force or microsoft sidewinder force 2 (I
know they've dropped production but I remember it still being sold
somewhere)
I'm also pretty sure the above ones are all proper FF sticks rather
than rumble sticks (to me rumble=xbox).
I'm leaning towards logitech only because I have heard good things
about them, never bought any of their stuff but have used and found to
be pretty good. The Saitek feels nice to wiggle around but I have had
the problem with their previous version and left drift - despite many
attempts to fix.
Help is appreciated.
