In exchange for figuring out why his computer's motherboard wasn't posting, which took me about 2 hours of on and off work to figure out it was just memory and a PCI card not plugged in right, I was handed this for my services.

I was pleased to find it works in all the Battlefield games just fine, but it's taking some getting used to using a flight stick vs mouse/keyboard like I've been doing. *chuckle*

 

Judging by the ratings the stick is getting, I'm getting a feeling I got the better end of the deal.

Sweet stuff buckaneer. When my dad designed our comp (it's a dell) he forgot to tell them to put in a joystick port, so I had to learn to fly with the mouse and keyboard (wish i could be as good at it as SamGen) I'm alright at bombing but dogfighting is where i miss it the most, i can't back for shit because it involved a whole crap load of mouse scrolling....oh well, at least i'm getting excersise right?

ahhhh...............so many buttons............................-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------pirate i think the joysticks these days use USB.

ya, i know, but ma dad doesn't see the need and i don't have a job

I have one too but a different brand.They work really well.

Nice joystick roach, I've heard good things about it.
