Can anyone help me to get a good joystick for racing games????? I have
Gravis PC game pad but the problme is that when you turn.. you are
turning the wheel ALL THE WAY!!!!! This created a very big problem for
me because the car slides all the time.. so I want to get a new
joystick.... can anyone tell me?? Thanx... oh another thing.. I am
looking for a joystick not a wheel.. so don't tell me that a T1 or T2
is better than a joystick...

Well***y,

  For accuracy and response you can't beat a CH Flightstick or
Flightstick Pro. I think the pro has more buttons.
  However if you intend to race ICR2 then I advise you to
consider at least a T-2 setup. Hard as hell to run those road
courses with a joystick, especially if you're using manual
brakes and shifting. I'm sure there are many other good
joysticks, but the CH has quite a reputation. Good Luck.

                                      Later...

The Gravis joystick is good one -- and isn't too expensive either (about $30).

Hi,

Gravis also have some analog ones. In fact, all analog joysticks are good
for racing games.
