My current Force 3D Pro has gone faulty so I'll probably be getting a new joystick at Christmas. Any recommendations on which one to get?

It should be under NZD $100.

A low cost, all-rounder...

Thanks, I'll consider that one.

How's the Extreme 3D Pro? Are its controls pretty good (not going right or left when the stick is centered etc.)? Will it not lose calibration in under a year?

I have had the Extreme 3D Pro for 2 to 3 years since my old joystick broke and the controls are good & I haven't calibrated it ever.

I've had mine for nearly 7 years. While it hasn't really needed any recalibration since it's initial setup, I have had to increase the null zones in my sims a bit over the years. (getting a little sloppy) However, for the money, it has been well worth it imho.
