I have a Sidewinder joystick, non force feedback, which is very nice to 
use.  I was having trouble with it recently, but I think that's a result 
of "upgrading" to XP or something on the software side.  After using the 
handle twist feature I wouldn't want to go without it.

My non-optical M$ mice both developed a detent feel (what I mean is that 
it has rough spots that cause the pointer to jump) in the horizontal 
direction only, even after cleaning.  I replaced those with Logitech 
optical mice.  Smooth.
