Some background about joysticks and the MacOS (if you are a MacOS guru, you can probably skip this part). As a result, all of the sticks I have covered below are made by Saitek (no, I'm not being paid by Saitek, I just think their stuff rocks). I wouldn't recommend a Microsoft stick (I'm not even sure they will work with a Mac) but there have been some good things said about the Logitech Force 3D Pro and it also looked OK to me but I didn't try it out because I was after something with a few more buttons.
I did look at a few other brands, namely Logitech, Microsoft and some lesser known brands but the Saitek stuff beat them all out for quality, features and price. You're welcome.įirstly, if you ask me, Saitek make the best sticks out there, hands down, their stuff is just brilliant. The worst of it was that I was not able to find any definitive answers about whether or not the sticks that I wanted to use would work with my Mac, or with VO so, in the absence of any definitive data, I had to do the research myself.Īnyway, to cut a long story short, two weeks and several hundred dollars later I have myself a nice little setup that is working out well and, because I'm such a generous soul, I'm going to give you the benefit of my experience so that you don't have to skirt the precipice of madness like I had to. Ok, ok, it wasn't quite that bad but it was a total pain in the arse. Little did I know that I was going to be walking head-on into a treacherous quagmire of compatibility and configuration issues that would tax every facet of my mind and push me to the very brink of insanity.
A few weeks ago, I innocently decided to take a look at whether or not it was possible to get a decent joystick to play VO with on my Mac.
