So with the upcoming release of Tom Clancy's HAWX game, which looks super sweet, I am going to have to find a nice joystick that will allow me to pwn Monkey Grill.  I have seen a few on newegg.com and wondered if anyone that has experience with it could help me pick one.  The options are below...

Saitek System

and if I got that then I would HAVE to get this too...
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102003
or this other Saitek option...

Logitech had a couple nice ones...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826102203
and a wireless one that would be mighty nice...

P.S. If you've never heard of HAWX here are some videos showing what it is...

    I have the Saitek X52 flight control set.  Pretty sweet.  Used it in a few games and really helpful in Flight Simulator.

    I've been reading some reviews and everybody is saying that Microsoft Sidewinder Pro Forcefeedback 2 is the best joystick made ever.

    P.S. Did you hear that MS has closed down the Flight Simulator division...they will not come out with another version ever again.

    I have this one:

    I like it. Not only does it go forward and backward, side to side, it twists, which controls your rudders.

    And ALSO: If you are getting HAWX or plan to play any flight sim, get a joystick that has a twist handle.

    Yeah I kinda liked that one Monkey...although MANY people are saying that it is very weak and made with shoddy quality.  I don't want to buy a piece of junk that I will have to replace though.

    I have it too and it works fine.

    If you want, you can have it for $20.

    Not a bad offer.  How long have you had it Crunch?  Anything wrong with it or is it mint?
