Don't buy an analogue joystick, they suck. The PC analogue joystick has 
always sucked. Try a digital joystick with a digital to analogue converter(such 
as the "starfighter 2+2") , they aren't proportional and you don't beat your 
computer up as much for it not responding properly when playing arcade style 
games. Of course if you play flight sims and nothing else then maybe you better
buy an analogue joystick , because these are made to take advantage of 
analogue joysticks making it very hard to play with a digital one 
(Although I have no trouble with X-wing , Tie Fighter and Pacific Strike 
all of which I have completed with my digital joystick).

Happy gaming , Mex
