The MS Sidewinder 3D Pro had twist to roll, throttle control for forward/backward, and a 4-way hat switch for translation (aka ‘strafing’, if we’re both taking about the same thing here). It was perfect for Descent.
Edit: and Freespace!
- toast0 5y agoHmm... I need to try harder with hats, I've never felt great about using them.
- binarycrusader 5y agoDon’t forget the Gravis Phoenix which was truly a high end joystick at that time and perfect for Descent.

- willis936 5y agoI played freespace long after its hayday. The mod loader was lovely and the mod community was still quite active. The most expansive overhaul mod had only one server that had many players. It was a full-on RP server. It wasn't for me, but it was fascinating nonetheless.
