What Joystick do you use?
« on: December 02, 2008, 10:08:17 PM »
So who is using what joystick? OR What joystick would you like to use?

I have the Saitek X52 just sitting, waiting, and collecting dust. I Started to get MW4 up and working, then set up my X52 to use with it, but I found it hard to set up any online things for me and my friends to use. I REALLY wish that we had online missions to complete! Anyway I would like to and will do everything in my power to use my X52, so what you got?
ASUS LGA775 Rampage Extreme
Intel Q9550S
ASUS Dark Knight 4870x2          Coolermaster 840
Intel Q9550S                             N52te/Sidewinder
8GB OCZ Reaper                       24" ASUS Monitor
Kingwin Mach1 1220watt             Win 7 Pro 64bit
80GB Velociraptor x 2 in Raid0
750GB WD Blue x 2 in Raid1

none.
mouse and keyboard strictly with pretty much the same layout in every game that lets me personalize this.
only thing i would like to play with is the controller from steel batallion . . but that does not work <.< . .
'any kind of discussion of randomness ALWAYS WILL EQUATE to being able to critically hit a mech's reactor by firing a micro beam laser while facing 80 degrees to the side, shooting the ground, which would cause a random explosion which would randomly crit his entire team's reactors which would randomly cause the server itself to explode which would randomly generate a strange quark which would randomly hit the earth and randomly randomness randomfapp the shit fapp random!'

Logitech WingMan. Cordless.
Worked great for MW4. Should do well for MWLL, if M/K doesnt work very well.

Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2

It's a crying shame that Microsoft doesn't produce joysticks anymore, this one is about 8 years old and still indestructable.

On the flip side I've asked my wife for an X-52 Pro for christmas ;)

Yeah .. as bad as their software is their joysticks were incredible. I went through 2 joysticks before I decided to get one of those babies. Was hoping they would come out with a Sidewinder Precision 3 but sadly they never did :(

Not really indestructable i broke 2 by being a bit to agressive with the top buttons, but then ive also killed 3 saitek evos by snapping the triggers :P

Strongest stick ive found is the one im using now, the Trustmaster Fox Pro 2, im only on my 2nd one of these in 3 yrs so im happy with this :)

I'm still gonna be running my Saitek X45 as it is still in perfect working order and those X52 are a bit expensive but I do love my X45

M/K should definately be out lawed as just plane un-mech-like, I love the realism of piloting my mech with a good throttle and stick config.

I have one Microsoft Sidewinder Precision USB and one Thrustmaster Fox Pro 2. If force feedback works I will use the MS if not then I will use the Thrustmaster.
