Hi, i bought a logitech WingMan rumble pad the time MW4 was released. And it worked well for me. Now i installed the free MW4 version, and my old pad cant be calibrated any more. So i started to look for a new gamepad with a thrust/throttle slider. Am i right, there is NONE to be found ?

I am looking for something with 2 analog sticks, tons of programmable buttons and a thrust slider for movement.

I dont like the Joystick / Pedal / Thrustcontroll Combo.

Oh man, I honestly haven't seen much of anylike like that around since the late 90s. I had a nice PC gamepad myself, throttle and all (from Interact, I think?). Even back then, a console-style gamepad with a throttle slider was kind of a niche item (as well it should be; that's basically a console-style gamepad for simulators, kind of a contradiction in terms!)

I won't say its impossible, but the chances aren't good. Newegg doesn't have anything like that, and I can't see anything on Amazon either. I wish you the best though, you never know :)

haver you tried joytokey? Dunno if it will work. My usb xbox gamepad had software that allowed me to play with the throttle. I quit using it though because my JS and nostromo n52 config is easier to use.
