Hi need a bit of advice,
I have a choice between a cheap USB joystick or a PS2 controller via an USB adapter. My question is does anyone use a PS2 controller for Flight sims?, are they any good if you do?, or should i stick to a joystick no matter what?.
It's a financial thing at the moment hopefully temporary.I have a couple of PS2 controllers and i know they are good quality.cheap USB joysticks on the other hand i know nothing about, and you usually get what you pay for.
Any advice much appreciated
