Well I agree that force feedback is an excellent technology and you should by one joysting with force feedback... But in your case if you are looking for something cheap a n analog or digital joystick with 4 or more buttons would do...<br> <br> BTW if you are into racing sims you should also buy a Force Feedback Racing Wheel <IMG SRC="smileys/wink.gif">

Staples sucks, I don't like naming names. But who wants to put in a postal code on a web site before you even look. I feel like I'm saying "Hey I like in the @$$hole of a country and you can screw me a little more" At least radio shack has the courtesy of asking the paying customers only (even if it is just a battery)
panter xp works great my bud uses it and swears by it, i tried it out and i could actually use it, only took one try impressive for me at least
I'm in agreement with the majority, that the Microsoft Sidewinder is a good stick. I'd think about whether you really want to spend the extra for the force feedback though. If you're into racing games, Microsoft make a pretty decent wheel as well.<br> <br> -------------------------------<br> <br> AMD Athlon 1.2 Ghz<br> ASUS A7V-133<br> 256 MB PC 133 SDRAM<br> Maxtor 40 GB ATA-100 7200 rpm Hard Drive<br> 32 MB GeForce 2 GTS Graphics Card<br> Windows 98 Second Edition with Plus<br>
My advice on choosing a joystick would be to get one that has a rectangular or square hole in the base that the actual stick goes into.<br> <br> I absolutely hate joysticks that have the round hole... You never know where the exact corners are with em.. <IMG SRC="smileys/puke.gif"> <IMG SRC="smileys/puke.gif"> <br> <br> For driving games especially ya gotta have the rectangular hole so you can still go full bore into corners and just jam the stick into the top/right or top left for full acceleration and full turning...<br> <br> Just my 2ยข worth....
