What the best joystick for around £20? Would I be able to get force feedback for this kinda price?

You've got to have a dream, if you don't have a dream, how you gonna have a dream come true?
I very much doubt that you will get yourself force feedback for that kinda price unless you buy secondhand. I am using a Saitek Cyborg 3d Gold which I find pretty good for around 25 quid, although I think people have stated that the later Saitek Platinum is even better, I think you can pick one up for about 28quid. I'm sure the Lomac and IL2 regs will put me straight if I'm wrong and point you in the right direction![]()
I suppose you will find force fdb joystick for 20 gbp, try Saitek. And i recently bought a Saitek gamepad (http://www.saitekusa.com/usa/prod/p2500.htm), wanted to try to play CS with it.... Never, NEVER try to play CS or anything similar with a gamepad!!!!
Saitek 3D Rumble can be had for £20 if your careful. The Saitek 3D Force is a touch more expensive but if you got the dough, get that over the Rumble, it has a better build quality.

To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
My personal recommndation - force feedback is a gimmick, don't bother. The best joysticks don't have it.
As Skii says FFB iis a gimmic, although some find it useful for avoiding stall. If you are into arcade stuff the FFB can be fun, but if you are going to be flying serious sims and with a budget of £20, you wanna make sure that your stick has more essential items like a twist grip (for rudder control) and a 8 way Hat and lots of buttons.
This is £20 but not sure whether it has twist grip.
I know it can be irratating when you say your budget is £20 and ppl recommend stuff costing more. It goes without saying that the more you spend the better you will get. But if you only have £20 it's no good recommending something costing more. However, if you are going to do serious sims then £20 is just not enough I'm afraid. The closest half decent one I can see is
This for £25
Best look around for a bargain/sale item. Personally I wouldnt buy 2nd hand as sticks will only last a year in the hands of a regular player.
