I've had my Logitech Attack 3 for like 3 years, has more buttons than the Saitek and has the throttle. I got it for like 20 USD.


But on the other hand, I recommend the second one.

My mate has an Attack 3, and its very nice. Just not sure if I like it. I'm very strange, I always like to try new things, and that one looks quite nice. I might just go for it. Thanks!

Used to use the Attack 3 up until last month, When i had to unfortunately go out and buy a new one and ended up buying the Saitek Cyborg Evo Wireless Joystick.

Have recentley had the Attack 3 repaired though (cost me the same price as the saitek).

my suggestion would depend on what you want out of your joystick, and what games you are wanting to play with it.

I have the ST290 PRO ($20 usd)  and the X52 ($120 usd).


but if either one goes out, i will be looking into the Saitek Pro Flight System as well as all the extra addon gauges/radio stack/etc etc etc including the headphones.:: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/proflight.htm
