    I am relatively new to PC gaming. At least, the kind of gaming where you need to have a controller. I am going to buy a joystick, but I want to make sure I don't buy one that anyone with two brain cells to rub together would know is a crappy product.

    I have $40 to spend. What model(s) are good?

    Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

    http://gamespot.com/gamespot/misc/mags/ (go to Hardware section)

    http://www.gamesdomain.com/gdreview/harawards.html (has a list of recommended hardware including joysticks)

    I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro that I like, but rarely use. I only bought it to play Mechwarrior 4.

    Microsoft usually has some $20 off mail-in rebate deal on their joysticks, too, so that may bring the price down some.

    My company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, then agreed to merge with another company, which also declared for Chapter 11 bankruptcy... should I be worried?

    I got 'chur joystick right here buddy.


    Sorry, couldn't resist.

    Epinions recommends the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pros as their number one favorite.

    The Precision 2 replaces it, and it's supposed to be even better. You can get it at www.buy.com for around $40.
