>Please can anyone suggest best(?) joystick for me to buy? >Thanks, >Dermot I've held out on buying a joystick of any sort for a long time now, content to stick with crappy cheapo ones which do the job of the few joystick games I have. (I'm a bit of a Doom head, so a mouse is usually all I need.) However I've just lately begun playing Descent and Mechwarrior 2 in earnest so I went and bought the Quickshot Skymaster. It's main attraction for me was it's supposed Thrustmaster compatibility and the witch hat. Although not as comfrtable as a Thrustmaster or a CH Flightstick Pro it is nearly half the price of the aforementioned. It's a good, solid responsive stick. For once, the old adage "You get what you pay for" seems to largely hold true for PC joysticks. (I said largely, so no flames please.) I work in a computer games store and have tried them all and the QS Skymaster seems to represent best value for money. Jeremy
