Don't know the name, but it works just fine. I use it for microsoft flight simulator and this game called IL-2 Sturmovich. My brother bought it for me at fry's for christmas for something like $20

It really depends on what you are playing. Flight simulators? There is an excellent Saitek flight stick setup if you are into serious flight sims http://gear.ign.com/articles/683/683200p1.html



If it is run and gun type games or FPS ganes, then a good wireless mouse and keyboard are your best bet. Logitech has a few nice ones.

I still have an old CH Flightstick pro and a CH pro throttle circa early 90's, but I quit flightsims years ago. If I were gunna play them that's what I'd use tho. LoL those 1,000,000 cycle warranty buttons stil working too





Always liked them better than MS and Saitek. When you set down a CH joystick the ----------er is heavy and you're likely never to break it!

I wanted to get a PS2 to USB adapter so I could rock teh analog buttons on the PS2 padle on teh PC but since i use the wireless logitech joints they dont work with the adapter. whoomp whoomp. I got a cheapy logitech controller for the pc that i use now but touch sensative buttons would be cooler.

10 dollar controller and keyboard/mouse is all you will ever need lol.
