I just got a THRUSTMASTER - Top Gun Afterburner II. Haven't had it long (~24 hours), but I like it so far. It's replacing a Logitech Extreme 3D PRO that I wasn't real happy with.

Well chaps, i've been down to the computer shop and I think I'm going to get the Saitek X52, it got lots of buttons and lights on it and it seems Saitek are a "trusted Manufacturer" ;)


In other words, you'll go for anything that looks good. ;)

Just kidding.

Go for it.

There is this one setup you people can buy online. It's a rig that acts like a stand for your:

1. Computer
2. Joystick controls [the X-45 and the X-52 seem to fit well with the rig]
3. Mouse
4. Keyboard
5. Steering wheel [for all you Need-4-Speed game addicts]

All in one setup without having to constantly rearrange your controls just to use either the stick or mouse.

Downside: You'll have to cough up about $2,000 USD for it. Even with a lot of money in the bank, I sure as heck wouldn't buy it.
