Logitech Attack 3 sticks - replacement / new old stock in 2020?

[bobbysq]

For several years, we’ve been using two Logitech Attack 3 joysticks for driving our robot. They have served us well, but recently we’ve had issues with them being loose and starting up miscalibrated, which are solvable in the shop, but could turn into issues on the field. The way I see it, we have a few options:

1. Deal with it and add a bigger dead zone in code
2. Switch to a gamepad (plenty of threads on that, please don’t recommend gamepads in this thread unless it comes down to it)
3. Find a new Logitech Attack 3
4. Replace them with similar sticks (ambidexterous non-rotating flightsticks)

So, does anyone know of a good source for Logitech Attack 3 sticks that’s not Ebay? (or reputable ebay sellers of thses sticks) We would greatly prefer brand new sticks over used ones. Also, does anyone know of similar flightsticks that have an ambidexterous handle (or are sold in both left and right handed models) that preferably don’t twist?

If you end up unable to find them new, we moved to the Extreme 3D in 2017(?) after some issues with the Attack 3. Been our goto for when a driver wants a joystick to drive. This does fail the ambidextrous constraint though iirc as no left version exists.

Yeah, we have an Extreme 3D for our second driver. After feeling it, using it left handed doesn’t feel too bad… The face buttons are a bit hard to hit, but we don’t use that many for driving. Maybe we could switch to two Extreme 3Ds for driving and relegate our good Attack 3 to mechanisms.
