Like the title says, what do you guys feel will be the best Joystick to use for MWO based on your experiences with the previous games.


On amazon I was looking at the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick http://www.amazon.co...ywords=Joystick

seemed to be the best one available, but I know very little about Joysticks and have not played a Mech game with one yet.

I bought a 'wingman extreme' way back when and it has served me well. Comfy grip, joystick has a twist axis, gobs of buttons in easy thumb/finger reach, a secondary joystick for the thumb (I usually config it for look operations), and a throttle slider.

I can't say for sure that there aren't better ones out there, I just know this one has been great enough that my 'new gear' motivation has focused on graphics cards etc instead.

In the name of all things sacred my friend I implore you to search for Thomas Hogarth's guide for joystick reviews and comparisons. And good hunting!
