Rating: Summary: beware of early reviews Review: This joystick worked well out of the box. It had a good feel and was very precise. I've no idea why, but after a month or two, it began behaving erratically, especially in the twist axis. It isn't nearly as precise now, and I experience drift and position spikes even after I calibrate it. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I doubt it.
Rating: Summary: Overall good joystick for cheap! Review: Thrustmaster has always made an excellent product through the 1990s. The FOX PRO 2 SHOCK is no exception. For under $30 you get a force feedback joystick that doesn't shake your joystick so much that it causes you to crash! The handle is extremely comfortable and the buttons easy to use and program. There are only two downfalls. 1. 7 programmable buttons. In most games you need at least eight to twelve. 2. The drivers that ship with the CD ROM don't work with WIN XP. They cause your system to reboot, over and over again. SO, please download the newest drivers from Thrustmaster.com and install them and not the ones on the CD. If yo have XP that is. Other than that...go buy one!
