I am a complete Newbie to using gaming devices and am looking for a
Joystick or a Gamepad which could be used with diverse games like
Flight Simulation 2004 to FIFA 2004.
From various commnets, it appears as if the USB port on the Intel
Pentium IV Motherboard is more reliable than the Gameport on the
SoundBlaster Card. Another term frequently used is 'force feedback'
for the joystick.
Should I opt for a simple USB port Joystick without the Force Feedback
feature to start with? Or should I opt for a USB gamepad? If so, an
analogue or a digital?
Is Logitech the best choice and if so which model of Joystick or
gamepad should a beginner like me acquire? Or Microsft or gravis or
unbranded products good and economic enough for a beginner?
Sorry for asking too many questions. Is there any FAQ which answers
such questions from beginners?
Thanks.
