PS3 Joysticks

[Graiskye]

I may have been misunderstood, granted the post was a bit erratic. Cheap sticks will work fine.....for a short time. Thats it. The rigors of flying a plane by joystick fighting combat are simply too hard on the stick for cheap plastic to last much longer the pot holders get broken, worn out, etc, etc...
And yes people cry about their cougars, the sad truth is you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
As to sinking 500 into a cougar flight stick, well I think you answered your own question there, anyone that is going to sink 750.00 into a joystick to play a PC game, well your probably not going too be happy even then are you ? I mean come one 500.00 to customise an already great stick cause what the pot had 1 or 2% drift ? Now come on and post about the litany of problems you had and all you had too do too fix them, why ? Because you have every right in the world too
For every person that stands there with their cougar going my pots suck balls and are worn out, theres ten guys standing behind him smiling, hence, you cannot please all of the people all of the time.
Fly with your 35.00 joystiks, buy one every two weeks see if I give a flying ****, I could care less, Thrustmaster and Logitech and Saitek will love you for it.

I do wish you all the best of luck in finding a stik to let you enjoy your gaming/sim experience, if you are having fun, hell who am I to want to rain on that parade. I just thought it was funny this whole flightstik thing, its sooo old but with the release of the first serious console simm is re born.
Best of luck to you all,
-G.

It would be nice if we could get a list of all pc flightsticks that are gonna be compatible with the ps3 once the update comes out.

Exactly, there seems to be several models and I'd like to know exactly which one(s) are compatible for PS3.

Actually, I was happy for about a year with my modded cougar - then something went out on the circuit board - the last straw, so I sold my modded cougar to another simmer who swapped out the board.

I bought a CH fighter stick after that, it is just as accurate as the cougar was with hall sensors and other mods plus it is still going strong after 3 years of hard use and no issues.

The cougar was poorly made, nice on the outside and crap inside. You should expect even cheap joysticks to work reasonably well. Seems too many of them do not.
