Title: \"Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold USB\" joy
Post by: EHM-1001 Robert on March 26, 2004, 10:02:13 pm

Maybe you remember, I hoped I will get a new joy from Santa last year, but the surprise have not happened...so I had to buy it myself ;)

I was searching many times about a good FS joystick and the time worth it. My wanted features were:
- USB connector
- 8 way hattop button
- twist handle
- thrust lever
- very smooth movements
- low mechanical resistance
- defined zero positions for the stick

And the winner is !!!! ... the Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold. It was about 45 euros only (TESCO price ;D ). I like it very much. Everything is adjustable! I already setted it for left-hand operation. I can only recommend it to everybody!

I have only one problem, maybe somebody can help me: there is a configurator program which you can assign profiles by to selected applications. Well, this program does not see my USB joystick. I can live with it cause I can modify every important buttons I need inside FS, but if somebody could offer the experinces with this software, I would be very delighted. ;)

Thanks for attention.

hmm what do you mean by defined zero position? i've been having this problem with the cyborg evo stick, the spring that it uses seems to get "weaker" and now there's a small zone where there's no resistance to movement at all. is that what you are talking about?
