If you dont know about top joysticks or another forum thats for gamepads/joysticks dont waste ur time on this post :) .

I have been searching for a joystick on google for a long time or a forum so i can ask about them but i cant find anything that compares the top controllers.

Recantly i have had a logitech Extreem digital 3d. I had porblems with it and i wanted force feedback anyways so i later bought a Logitech Force 3d. Worked 'ok' for a cuple months but still kinda sucked and now rudder and x axis ****ing up and the middle is very loose ect... anyways im thinking on buying a new one..

Price doesnt mean much. ( as i dont expect the "best" could cost over $150 )

I want a single joystick, nothing like saiteks x52 or x45 where its got 2 diff controlers basically.. I just want(requirements):

-single controller ( not x45 or x52 type things)
-force feedback
-not wireless
-comfort isnt a porblem i just want the forcefeedback to be good but much more importantly, accurate control and not loose in the middle( is that possible with force feedback?)
-Im trying to fly simulator helicopters on FS2004 so it cant be extreemly stiff in the middle( any stick iv ever used hasnt had that porblem but i've heard about it )

I think i will get one of these joysticks but i dont know what is best( for the requirements i listed above). If you know a better one please tell me. If you can refer me to another forum please do. I have read many reviews but i need to compare these sticks against eachother. Thanks ALOT for any help! :D

saitek - Cyborg evo Force ( will probally get this one )
MS - Sidewinder Force Feedback 2
MS - Sidewinder Force Feedback pro
logitech - strike force 3d( im afraid to get this because of my experiences with cheeper logitech comtrollers)
 
I'd say the Saitek is a good choice out of those 4. I have heard good things about Saitek, although I've never owned one, and the Editors at PCGamer like the Cyborg Evo.
 
dont get force feedback pro

I have the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback pro and haven't been able to use it since i got XP. The cd's drivers don't support it, and Microsoft's web site dosen't support it. Isn't that kind of an old joystick? I got mine around 1999 back in the good old days of FS98.
 
Unless someone else reccomends me a better one i think ill try this one out.. Does anyone know if the center of the stick is loose? That bothers me a lot about the one i currently have, along with all the other porblems...
