I was just looking on EBay and you can get a new Logitech Momo force
feedback wheel and pedals for around $65 or so, not really all that bad!

hmmmm I did some doodling with my wingman force 3d.
Either I have a dud but I can't get things centred or rather the stick is
just to darn sensitive for my liking.
plus I can only do so many things at once.
Its got loads of power in the moters, but games I tried are just not that
good for it.
topspeed and railracer may be although I use the mouse for rr and the
keyboard for ts.
sod as I said things spin round all the time slowly like its not
calibrated, on that note how does one calibrate these things I followed
the instructions but I don't know exactly what I really need to do to get
things going with it.
I here ffb sticks don't have the prosition centering feature defined as
well as other sticks.
my sighted friends say its hard to centre the stick.
If say troopinam or something has controls for the stick I run out of
buttons and 2 of them are at the extreme back so I'd have to use the board
and stick at the same time and its a bit impractical right now.
So I suspect I won't be playing with a stick.
or at least that one.
I have a simple non force feadback stick here a simple usb side winder I
got for 20 bucks.
this has the basic centre game pad stick control like a cross for up down
left and right, 4 buttons on the top right and 2 sets of r1 and 2 buttons
on left and right like the old ps1 controlers.
its not ffb however its got 8 buttons as supposed to the ffb stick I have
which has 6.
it does mean that I will have no keyboard control but means I can map more
buttons.
and I may actually use one of these.
I don't have the cash to get any extra things.
maybe if I sell my controlers one of these days I may have the cash for
something although this is the last time i will get an actual stick, I
think my next controler will be a game pad or maybe an xbox 360 unit or
something like that with 2 sticks and the rest.
Feadback is good but I don't know.

I use a logitec wingman rumblepad. As the name implies the controller
includes motors for force feedback. You need to install the software
from the cd or internet in order for games to pick up on its force
feedback qualities. It's a nice gimic but the rumble isn't very
powerful. I got the controller cerca 2001. It looks kind of like a
hybrid between the ps2 and dreamcast/xbox1 controllers - two wacky
looking protrusions out front, 2 decent (if a little flimsy) analog
sticks, 6 main buttons (which are a little small), a d-pad and a few
other buttons for switching control from d-pad to left analog stick
and back and toggling force feedback on/off. It isn't the best
controller - I used to have a microsoft sidewinder whose buttons and
dpad were a little more solid and big - but it's fun to use with games
especially top speed. One advantage resultant of joystick use in-game
is that you don't have to shut down your screenreader (and in some
cases, you don't even have to have the game window in focus - I can
play topspeed while chatting in an msn window though I won't be able
to hear the other cars on the track).

I'd appreciate that as well. I'd like to buy a racing wheel for the
racing
games and at some point a joystick for other games.
I want you...to go upstairs...and kill that boy!
