Oh my you are in need for some enlightenment my friend. The best joystick or gamepad to play a First Person Shooter is none. No controller can give you better control and accuracy than a keyboard and mouse. Even in flying, its much much easier and better to fly with the keyboard and mouse. Please stay away from extra controllers unless you want to be a copy of those sad console gamers.

Don’t use one, you don’t need it. You fly better without one.

Also, who said something about a cheap PS controller rip off? Do you mean this?

I have one and it is not cheap, best controller for emulation. It workes great for older games like things on the SNES or GB.

You don't need a Joystick to fly in bf1942 but if you want to be good you better get one, i recommend the Cyborg 3D Gold.

I flew for the first few weeks with the keyboard and mouse before I finally got around to hooking up my cyborg stick. Those that claim you can fly better with the keyboard probably havent used the joystick enough. I didnt like it at first but soon you realize what better control it gives you. Makes it feel alot more like actually flying as well,IMHO. I broke my cyborg soon after hooking it up so I replaced it with a logitech freedom 2.4 cordless. This stick is so sweet!!! A pure joy to fly with. And did I mention cordless?

lol....I don't think very many people use that. Maybe the very very sad retro gamers use it. That controller sucks, I have no problem with console gamers in general. It's just the console gamers who think that just their console even better than a good gaming PC.

Actually a lot of PC gamers still use the Gravis Gamepad Pro to play sports games and stuff. I use one with NHL2003 and am always one of the top players in my leagues.

so no it does not suck, it just looks like it sucks.
