Replacement for 3D pro?

Post by Hatman »

Is there any good joysticks out there? I haven't played D2 in ages and I no longer have any sticks, looking for recommendations.

Nothing as good as the old 3D Pro, no.

If you need to have a USB stick, here are a couple of options from my experience:

1. Grendel's 3DPro USB converter (requires a little self-assembly)

2. Off-market (e.g. I've found a few USB Precision Pros on Craigslist, etc.)

3. Current sticks on the market (the Logitech 3DPro and Saitek Evo were usable but didn't last long for me; others here recommend some of the CH sticks)

if you want cheap get the logitech 3D Pro

when the Twist Blows (because of the 3/1 Nylon/Tin Wiring)... replace the wiring harness CAT5 cable

Enjoy

I suggest the new Saitek Cyborg X or the older Saitek Cyborg Evo. I have the plain version of the Evo but it seems all that's for sale right now is the force feedback model. Given the reputation for the Evo to be a strong, sturdy, reliable stick with plenty of buttons an an 8-direction hat, the Cyborg X will probably hold up just the same.
