Hi,
I am lookin' for a good stick to replace my aging Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro. I'd like quality(that's a big one), lots of axes, force feedback if possible, and a twin throttle. Price: under $150 ideal up to $300. Thanks WinkNGrin

P.s. I've been looking at Saitek's Cyborg X, X52 and Logitech 's G940.

Based on your twin throttle and FFb request, I would suggest the Logitech 's 940. Although I hear there are some driver issue's (centering issues), I believe ( based on my reading) that most folk's are happy with thier purchase.

Thanks, but it is awfully expensive. I'll think about it.

For the record what people are complainig about in the G940 is a roughly 10% area around the center of the stick which does not have (intentionally so) any FFB--including centering spring. This is not to say that the sensors of the stick are inprecise--which you might think if upon hearing about centering problems. However, Logitech themselves have stated that they are looking into and that it can be fixed via an updated driver. I have no idea if they will follow through on this or not however.
