Joystick recommendations?

227k jamesPLANESii  3.2 years ago

As you've probably seen, my joystick has broke and I need a new one.
I put that I need a new joystick in my other post but literally nobody has read that section and they've just looked at the pictures, so I'm making this post.


Are there any joysticks that have progressively more feedback the more you increase your input? I know most just have a constant amount of feedback no matter the position of your joystick. I literally hate this. This feature in most joysticks is the bane of my existence. I makes medium precise movements really jerky and horrible, and it's extremely unrealistic. I don't even know why joystics do this. Whoever invented this and thought it was a good idea is an idiot and must die.


So do you know any joystics that move like this? My budget is about NZ$300.

    NZ$1 = US$0.72
    I can increase my budget if the recommended joystick is good

    Sorry if this is unrelated, but I was wondering if you would like to join The SimplePlayersUnitedRepublic, or SPUR. It is a country of SP players that has been made for us to help each other, learn, and have fun. It has its own government, military, and building group.

    @CyanWasNotTheImpostor I absolutely despise that deadzone lol. Also the stick isn't precise at all, maybe each axis has 50 values, no more. mouse as joystick is hugely more precise

    Most people are suggesting the x52 and honestly most Logitech brand stuff is pretty reliable, I personally don’t like the cover around the hand in the back on the x52 HOTAS but all in all good brand

    I use the Logitech 'Extreme 3D Pro'. It's a good joystick, no doubt. It doesn't cost a lot either. I definitely recommend it.

    How many € is 1NZ$ ?
    I recently bought a Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotax X for between 40-60€ (I don't remember lol), and before that I had a Thrustmaster T.16000M for roughly the same price.
    Both are awesome. I recommend.
