Hmmm... I see a lot of you use the Precision Pro 2. I have one question for you: does it have the "shift" button that version 1 has - the button that effectively doubles the commands that you can assign to the joystick's buttons? Cause from what I can tell on the box, it doesn't, which is why I haven't bought it. 8 buttons are nice, but 16 buttons rule!

For example, I always have the trigger as primary fire, and the "shift"-trigger as toggle primary weapons. Very handy. I couldn't play w/o it.

I don't think so. Here are the controls on mine:  Trigger  Thumb Button  Little thumb botton  Other littlethumb button  4 Base buttons (the ones on the bottom)  Throttle  8-Direction POV hat

Even though it dosen't have a shift button you can program macros. example: I can program button 5 to fire my primary weapon, then equalize shields then fires secondary weapons and finally engace subspace drives, all with the touch of 1 button

That can be done with the Precision Pro Mk I - plus it has the Shift button.

he-he, had that stick ever since my old 486.

[^Graff]

I use a Wingman Extreme.  I'm happy with it since it's the first stick that I've had more than a year without it breaking.  I also like the twist ability, although I don't use it nearly as often as I used to.

Lol, I know the feeling...
I use the Guillemot Force Feedback Joystick (designed for use by left or righted handed people)
A huge beast of around 4 kilo and a lot of buttons, a throttle, a rudder and a hat (where would we be without one, it's so useful when looking at those cap-ships going boom while runnign from the blast   )

Starcraft is great...

Depending on whether I'm feeling adventurous or murderous, I'll go with my Precision Pro or my keyboard (respectively).

Of course, my abacus is always handy. I think it was you who first said that, Eish...

[Martinus]

Force feedback all the way, theres nothing quite getting the hell knocked out of you by flak whilst feeling the recoil of whatever gun you're currently blasting away with. Of course the fun really begins when capships are going up, you're close to the blast and your getting hammered with antifighter beams, it just rocks

Are you using a 32bit video card?  Because I had problems with that - drops back to the desktop after the 3dFx logo.  I had to deactivate detect Glide or something like that.
