New Joystick

Postby Gunny04 » Wed Feb 15, 2006 9:23 am

Well, Modern technology, I didnt have a bloody choice, Parents told me 20 bucks, and I searched, and searched, and searched for a Cheap MS Sidewinder on EBay, Finally giving up and buying a Saitek ST90 for $18.97 with all the shipping, does anyone here know of this stick? Was recomended to me by one of my Fellow friends in FS! Cheers, Gunny whom is expecting that new stick next tuesday

Much better than keyboard - miles better anyday. It will be ok and you'll love it if you haven't had a stick before.
But I wouldn't recommend it personally. Two immediate reasons - lack of stability (though I have no sound proof there) and the other is there aren't many buttons on it. The quality won't be there either.
I hope you enjoy it, treat it gently and it will be ok. ;)

Well I had 8 buttons on my MS Sidewinder precision, and out of them, only 4 used...... so I dont need buttons, Stability, was recomended by a friend so I bought it, and its half way decent, prolly better than my Sidewinder, who knows? Cheers, Gunny
