My brother in law gave me an ancient, obsolete joystick a couple years ago, built by a company long-since bought out by competitors, even getting the drivers was a challenge. It is now at least 10 years old, and I got Star Wars Squadrons and decided to try this joystick. It was a pain to set up, and I have never used a joystick before, BUT IT WAS BRILLIANT! Playing a dog-fighting game with a joystick is so much fun! I haven't found a videogame this much edge-of-your-seat fun in years!
My brother in law is having money trouble and so hasn't bought anyone presents this year, and asked that no one buy him one in order to spare his guilt, of course no one listened and me and my brother have got him a set of headphones he has been drooling over worth over £200 (we got it SUPER cheap), and I intend to tell him that I consider this joystick as an early Christmas present as I only just started using it, it was a gift from him, and I have really enjoyed using it. (I really do feel like it is a christmas present from him, I'm not just saying that.)
So something for both of us.
