Hardware & Technical Lefty joystick user needs help.

[g33m4n]

Hello guys, long time reader first time poster......

I have started to look for a joystick for the beta release, but being a left handed joystick user i am finding it hard.

i currently have an old stick like this , would this be ok, or should i invest in a new stick.

The Thrustmaster T.16000 is configurable to south-paw, and is supposed to be a very good stick

yup, got the same response when i asked, they are about £45 each but hard to get hold of, if you see one on ebay/amazon i'd advise you to grab it sooner rather than later.

I ordered one for 39€ (32.06 pound) and it was in stock at a lot of places (in germany)

£42 maplins.... delivered either to you or your local store in 3 days. and no, i don't work for maplins. but i did buy said stick from them.

having said that.... i'm still using an xbox controller.

I might stick with what I have got then

+1 more recommendation for the T.16000M. I bought one for me and one for my son as we are both left handed. Smooth action with Hall Effect sensors - nice to "fly" with.

close, maplins sell them for £49 but have the same issues as ebay/amazon - their stock goes down faster than a ten dollar hooker.

I've been keeping a close eye on this stick as i have some saving to do before i get to play in the second beta and stock levels are not constant - if they were maplin would still list it on their ebay outlet

One more vote for T.16000M. An excellent joystick that has only one drawback: the thrust slider that doesn't have a specific midpoint (a lever would have worked a lot better than a slider).
