Favorite joystick?
can't post it on a SFW board
>>721543884Outside of flightsims, joysticks are a very 'boomer' thing that was mostly purchased because they thought this was how you'd play those vidijagames like in the arcades and PC control pads hadn't caught on yet.
>>721544058they are also for playing descent
>>721543884I use this to play the truck sims along with a wheel+pedals. Forward and backwards for sequential shifting (I don't have an h-pattern). Twist it to look left and right. Some other miscellaneous things like blinkers and wipers. Pretty nice.
>>721544341I used it to play MechWarrior 2, really made the game feel more simulator-ish.
>>721543884Not sure why but the deadzone on mine went bad almost immediately and now it has almost a full inch of stick drift. Also the base is so fucking humongous and goofy shaped there's no way to clamp it to my chair or desk that isn't inconvenient
>>721543884The one I bought on flea market for 10 bucks.
i bought this fucking shit just for battlefield 3. used it once
>>721543884What games are the best to be played with these kind of analog flight sticks. Except flight sims, because it's an obvious answer?
>>721543938wtf man
>>721545096Helicopter sims.Also as a ghetto racing handbrake.>>721545279Classic
I had a X-52 for Elite and it was great. Switched back to MKB flying this year though, haven't really used it since
>>721545096arma when flying a plane :^)
The only good ones are the ones with force feedback, and they cost like 600 bucks.
>>721543884I wanted to buy one of these but then I realized what games can I even play with it?
>>721544058>Good old 4 player splitscreen gaymen>Two players share the keyboard, one using WASD, the other using the arrow keys>One player gets the flightstick>One player gets the logitech gamepad
>>721543940excuses. we know its small
>>721543884I remember trying that at a friend's once, what absolute dogshit of a controller. It's so fucking bad it would probably ruin the idea of a joystick to anyone who wants to buy one.It's especially egregious when you consider a VKB Gladiator stick will cost you just 100$.
>>721543884It's the only one I own. I think I paid $40 for it. It was the most recommended "starter" HOTAS, and I figured I'd either upgrade if I really liked flight sims, or only be out $40 if I didn't, but then when I thought about upgrading, all joysticks got prohibitively expensive. Even this one sells for like $100 US now.The worst part is, joysticks aren't great for immersion in MSFS because airplanes use yokes, but yokes are shit for spaceflight games.
