As the title says, I'm looking for a new joystick to replace my aging M$ Sidewinder, and I'm wondering what you all's recommendations are.
I'm not looking for a new HOTAS set, just something as sturdy as possible, and with a twisty rudder. Buttons and sliders are also okay.
I've heard good things about the Saitek AV8R, but I've never actually seen it in person, and if it feels anything like the X52's stick, I may just pass over it.
But aside from that I have no real preference for one company over another, except for maybe Logitech. (After several years of hearing all sorts of stuff about their reliability, I'd rather not take my chances)
