Joystick.
My old one was a bit sloppy on center, so I needed another one. I was not effective at range with it.
This one looks nice, is made of nicer quality materials and seems to be lasting longer than some I've had.
It is more precise than the Sidewinder Prescision I had before.
Comes with a twisting handle for rudder type functions, 8way hat and lots of buttons.
This stick is unique in that it has several adjustments for hand sizes, positions etc. You can set it up for left handed, or right handed, you can raize the heigt of the part that your hand rests on, you can change the angle of the thumb button pad and you can change the tilt of that pad too.
It feels different when "Stirring the pot" most joystick feel like you are moving them in a big square when at the limits. this one feels alot smoother and circular. More precise.
Cost was $49 from Future shop, seen it similarly priced elsewhere.
My only complaint is that it still doesn't seem to fit my right thumb properly. I am getting used to it but its still a bit off.
