i dunno for what r u going to use it... but if its mainly cuz of BF i would reccomend u to not buy logitech Force... cuz its cheaper... atleast in cro... but rather a plain one... (Logitech Extreme 3D Pro) cuz as im aware BF2 doesnt support force feedback... but correct me if im wrong...

All three are good choice its only they are in the light weight class , so expect them flying around your table a lot :p

Get the saitek, any of the 2, it's basically the same joystick anyway (I would personnaly take the one with wire, because of the battery problem with the wireless one...)

Logitech make joystick that will do you well for about 6 months, max 1 years, depending on the use.... After that, you will start getting worse and worse experience with them. I mean, they are not a bad stick, but Saitek is way more durable!

Myself and my brother have no3. I have barely used mine, didnt like swapping between keyboard, mouse and joystick. Wasnt bad, just I never flew with it enough to get a good feel.

My brothers broke after about 4 or 5 months of use. Logitech did send him a new one since it was in warranty.

I'd go with #2 - only because its the prettiest and I could sit it next to the other one on my desk that I never use, and I would look cooler. Hope this helps.

I don't really use a joystick, which you can probably tell if you ever saw me fly... but then again, I might crash even more with one...

I would add that having a wireless joystick doesn't really make sense to me. Why include the added hassle (and cost) of worrying about batteries, and possibly get less performance from it, when a joystick doesn't even move on the desk?

some guys likes it to put their joystick on their lap :D Full force feedback


that is the other meaning of JOYSTICK and it also needs batteries



But back to the topic
I got the

Logitech Extrem 3d pro version

(no Force Feedback and with cable)

BF2 doesnt supports Force Feedback. And I don't know much games or i have no game which supports that feature.

get the middle one, that's the one i have. No wireless for me. I have the G7 and i now realize i want a G5. It's the same thing, but the wireless drives me crazy.
