Computer Analog Joysticks
An analog joystick is basically just a fancy term for a slightly more-than-average, cream of the crop-type of joystick. Hopefully this will make sense to you: analog joysticks works by returning an angle measure of the movement in any direction or plane. No? Well read on.
This type of joystick is used primarily in commercial operations. As I mentioned in another post, a good example of this would be a crane operator and the controls he uses to maneuver huge metal support beams.
On another note, if you are in the market for analog joysticks, you may want to take a look at my industrial joysticks article. Basically the two terms (industrial and analog) are interchangeable in the joystick business. You have to buy both of them in bulk and both come in all shapes, sizes, and specifications.
Analog joysticks are meant for work type procedures. So, unfortunately, there are not very many analog joysticks that are compatible with mainstream flying or driving games.

Industrial Computer Joysticks
Industrial joysticks are joysticks that are used in commercial jobs.
For example, imagine something like a construction crane lifting a huge support beam up to the very top of a new building under construction. If your going to have maximum control over that huge beam, four arrow keys just isn't going to cut it. Thats where industrial joysticks come into play.
Industrial joysticks allow crane operators and other professionals to have the pinpoint precision they require in difficult and dangerous jobs like the one described above. One wrong move and you might send it falling hundreds of feet onto an unsuspecting worker.
Usually you have to buy industrial joysticks in bulk from commercial suppliers. Your local best buy isn't going to have any in stock. Save yourself a major headache and do some research and check out some reviews before buying your industrial joysticks. If you mess up a simple specification or something similar you could have some very big liability down the road. Make sure you put a lot of research into getting the correct industrial joystick for the job.

Commercial use joysticks will get their own articles. These will include analog joysticks and industrial joysticks.
Hopefully you look forward to this blog and come back to it time and again. This blog will help you determine which computer joystick is right for the thing you want to do.
