i play a good deal of computer FPSs, that has been my recent gaming needs. Ive never had a chance to use a joystick with them though. i used to have a joystick for flying games, but i cant find it, and the buttons on top were broken last time i had it. (plus it was from like 1997). i was wondering a few things about joysticks:
1)do they work well with FPS (not flying games with shooters). im talking about games like HL2, where you have a gun and are a person. does the joystick work well with this? i undertand that probably is a learning period wehre im a idiot with the joystick, but i dont care, if it works well then im happy.
2) what joysticks are good. i want a joystick that is going ot be reliable for a couple of years. i also dont need the joystick with 50 customizable buttons. my mouse had two buttons and a scroll wheel. if you can beat that many customizable buttons then youre good in that sense. i would also like one that comes with soem software that lets me set the sensitivity and customize the buttons, etc. etc.
my second question is in relation to keyboards. do i need a good keyboard to play games ont eh computer. i got a standard compaq keyboard. it it made of crappy plastic, weights liek a 1/4 of a pound, but all the keys work and i havent had any performance issues. im wonderinng what is the advantage of all these other keyboards out there, why do people need one better than the crappy edition.
my third question is a simple one too. im looking for a headset to use for online play. i had a headset too, but its broken (the headset piece broke annd the wires are fine. i taped it back together, and just plugged it in, but for whatever reason it wasnt working. the headset comes down into one cord that splits and one plugs into the mic thing, and the other nto the headphone thing on my computer.) if anyone knows how to fix this problem pleaes tell me. otherwise im just looking for a cost effective headset. i dont know why people need headsets that are fancy. all i want is one that when i speak into it the computer does a good job of recording the audio and then sends that out.
