Joystick Recommendation

**visuvius** · 12-07-15, 03:55 PM

Need a recommendation for a joystick. There are a ton of options and I'm not really sure which one to get. I bought this Elite whatever game and I'd like to try it with that as well as I want to start fucking around with jets a bit in BF4 just for fun. Under $30 would be good as I doubt I'll be using this thing that often.

Could do like me and go all keyboard...

I've used the Logitech Extreme 3d Pro since BF2. It's not terribly durable (one lasts, oh, maybe 3 odd years) but its intuitive, simple, and cheap.

That being said, BF4 (and BF3, for that matter) is a different beast than BF2. Last time I checked, most top-tier pilots were fairly universal in the opinion that mouse and keyboard was superior to a joystick in BF4. I still use a joystick, but that's simply because it's what I'm used to. If I were learning to fly in BF4 from scratch, I would likely give m&k and lengthy trial run before considering a joystick.

You've convinced me, no joystick.

I mean, maybe i'll get like a super cheap one on amazon just to fuck around with.

This is my favorite one for around that much money:

Thrustmaster T-16000M

Amazon.com: Thrustmaster T-16000M Flight Stick: Electronics

I use it with my left hand (its ambidextrous after some part swaps which are included)
