New joystick

Well after the last windows 10 update, my outdated Microsoft sidewinder 2 joystick no longer recognized by laptop. Would like joystick recommendations for playing bf1942 {and others}..Please bear in mind I need a true joystick style(not gamepad) as I use one hand only. Thanks in advance......

PS if anyone knows how to get my old one working again, that would be great also big_smile

Best joystick imo... with ingame option "Keyboard sensitivity" you can change the sensitivity of your joystick. I have the lowest.

Re: New joystick

You're welcome! I grew up with joysticks, but the other generation with controller. This is why many don't like joysticks. big_smile

This one was really hard to break... almost like the nokia 3310.
