How can I get my MS Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 joystick to A)work with Windows XP, and B)emulate mouse/keyboard for it to work with Doom3? I'm really an old-fashioned joystick kind of guy, and hate using the keyboard or anything else for games like this. Or, am I stuck buying a new one, and if so, what to get and will it work with Doom3?

Oh god, how can you even contemplate playing this with a joystick? Damn! But I seriously doubt that would even work. The games like that are simply NOT designed to be compatible with joysticks at all. They have zero support. Zip, zilch, nada.

Step away from the Joystick!

Get you a nice mx510, or maybe pre-order that new LASER Logitech MX1000!!!!!!!!

Preorder Link: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10380058&dcaid=1688

My only concern is the wireless part, I plan to keep my mx510 for now.

I have been playing First Person Shooters with a mouse since 1996. Do the game justice by using a mouse and keyboard. It might take a couple hours or days to get used to, but you will be greatful.
