    I like the wireless Logitech Freedom. No wires is sweet so you can stick it out of the way when you aren't using it.

        I been using the Saitek Pro from wal mart for the last 3 years. It works really nice especially for the 19.95 price tag.

        I hate wireless anything.

          I just got a Saitek X52 stick and throttle to replace my worn-out X45. They are great but they ain't cheap. I only use it for Flight Sim X. I still use keyboard and mouse for BF2.

            I have a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. It works pretty well, and it is pretty cheap I think. Unfortunately, It doesn't work correctly after I install the Belkin N52 software. I don't know if this is just a problem with this joystick, all Logitech joysticks, or joysticks in general. Really sucks, because I used to use a joystick to fly jets in BF2. Now I don't even have it hooked up.

              I was using the Sidewinder Pro, but it broke recently. I think it might have been Cain and I trying to fly SF last week

                Alright after lookin up some, I decided on the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro...

                Do you have to reset all buttons for flight in game and reset them to joystick or is it automatic?

                  You have to reset all the controls in the game.

                      Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro 2 is probably the best for the money right now.

                      It uses electric motors instead of springs for the force feedback(N/A in BF2) and "return to center."

                      Smoothest joystick I've ever used. You can't buy one new, but you can find a bunch on ebay for around $20~$30.

                      My last one was a custom built Trustmaster HOTAS. Around $300 at the time of my purchase. Solid metal casing, and full customizable button mapping. Possibly the most complete joystick I've ever had(before I snapped it in half), but useless without rudder(sold separately).
