I have a Gravis BlackHawk Digital, I know alot have said they are kinda bad, but I downloaded new drivers for it and all the bs problems are (from what I experenced) gone. I used to play Midnight Club 2, at random times all the buttons would press from a lag problem between the computer and the joystick, and I would end up flying into a wall because my NOS button would be hit along with a few other buttons that dident help. Now it has not f***ed up sence. Also the buttons run from a cord comeing out of the base and into the side of the stick, insted of going through the bottom where most ware and tear come from.
I read somewhere that there's going to be a joystick made specificly for JtL. Is this true?
I doubt it. hardware is rarely made for a MMO especially JTL is basically a simple space sim. How much special hardware do y ou need besides a joystick, gamepad or your keyboard/mouse. Now if this stick your talking about has a button called "fix game" then hell yeah i'll buy that sucker. But i really really really really really doubt Lucas Arts or SOE are developing a JTL stick, its just not nessesary to be honest when the market is flooded with good sticks.
Works very well with X-Wing Alliance and TIE Fighter.

I was wondering if you folks could help me. I have a rather small hand (even though I am in my late 20's my hand is smaller than some kids' hands). As such I was thinking about going with an evo, but still have CH lust. Does anyone with a small hand fly with a CH? I have yet to be able to find ch products in retails stores so I can't try it out myself and do not want to drop that kind of cash on something that is going to hurt/be to be for my hand. Any advice on these two sticks or other suggestion for us finger lenght challenged folks would be appreciated.

I like my logitech 3d digital extreme. Payed about $15 bucks for it on discount and it has worked beautifully for 2 1/2 years. It has as many buttons as I can ever be bothered to remember and use ~7-8, the hat switch for views and the cool twist handle that usually controls a rudder. The throttle is located off to the left of the stick and is pretty easy to use and access while in combat. Over-all not the best stick on the market but probably the best value.
I've been looking at the sitek x45 for quite some time now, but never really had a game to justify buying an $80 joystick untill now. and ofcourse, now they decide to release that sweet looking x52. I've seen it on a few euro sites already. pre-order of course, scheduled for an october release. Its going for about 100 euros. or like $180. who, besides me ofcourse is planning on dishing out $180? just curious
Ppl that don't have them should wait and see how everything pans out. With a game so buggy as this one, I would wait. I got my x45 for RL combat jet fighting games. I hope it works great with JTL. I don't want to up grade to the x52. I hate twist tech because it's not reallistic. It doesn't say if it has a rudder on the throtle like the x45 does. I really like that set up of the x45. the only thing I don't like about the x45 is that it has no force feed back.
i never knew there was lead in a USB coord. One of those reviews shows a big yellow sticker saying that there is lead in the coord and that you need to wash your hands after handling. According to that i would be a mutant by now.
My CH CombatStick should arrive today. I will be testing it out with XWA (which I never played because of frustrating Joystick issues in the past.... but loved the rest of the XWing series). If I like it I might end up splurging on the rest of the CH parts (throttle and pedals). Expect a preliminary review in a few days.
