Re: The best joystick?

I prefer the Logitech gamepad. However, if I had to pick a joystick it would be the Logitech Attack 3. It's mechanical resistance is very consistant throughout it's range. It' ergonomic shape and smooth transitions about its full range of movement is very pleasing to the hand. Also, it tends to rebound to its center quite consistantly.

Re: The best joystick?

Team 1522 is currently testing the X box 360 controller using the USB chicklet F.I.R.S.T introduced this year. Although the sensitivity will be much higher, we most likely will use them for the competition this year. Since my team is also using mecanum wheels (85% sure), having 2 "joysticks" on each 360 controller is very handy.

Re: The best joystick?

We're also planning on using the XBox 360 controller using the USB chiklet.

Re: The best joystick?

I believe the best joy sticks to use would be basically PS2 style COntroller, becuase it has two joysticks with one controller, with more range to use it such as the left joy stick to use for forward and reverse while the right to for right and left
