Epsilon 5 Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 Question for those who might know. I currently have a saitek cyborg 3d usb joystrick, and while I like the 4 axis + 10 buttons + pov config, it's getting worn and its precision is going down the drain (in a physical manner), especially since I started playing games which require much precision on all axis. Now, I was eyeing the x45, but it would cost me a leg. Then I started thinking about buying another saitek cyborg, maybe the gold one, although I don't know what's the difference. the SGE is nifty (I guess), but I haven't been able to use it yet. maybe I did something wrong. probably actually. I was wondering if anyone know if I would be able to use dual joysticks if I get another of the same brand? ... note that if the answer is yes, I will STILL consider the x45. I know there are a few users of the x36/x45 out there, and I'd like to know what you people think of it, at the same time. Maybe I will be able to replace that leg ... eventually.

Raven Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 I wouldn't get another saitek. I've never had one myself, but I have been told by numerous different people that they break down real easy like, and even if you can use two joysticks at once I don't know of any games that support that (though I can see the use). I got myself a Gravis Eliminator Precision Pre a while back (shortly after I got BCM as I recall) and it's a wonderful choice (especially considering it was only $15). It has twist, a throttle, an 8 way hat switch, something that resembles a mousewheel, and 8 other buttons.
HiPingScoba Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 Im pretty happy with my Logitech Wingman Extreme. It was cheap, around $30 and is pretty sturdy. I am regrettably on my second model because the first didn't like being immersed in hot coffee. It does however only have seven buttons. To config I pick the features I most want and assign 'F12' to any extras.
GREG MILLER Posted December 18, 2002 Report Posted December 18, 2002 I second that Wingman Extreme. I am very happy with this Joystick. This stick is lasting longer than both of my Thrustmaster sticks combined.
