Rating: Summary: Wears out quickly Review: Just as the other Logitech joysticks I've owned, the Freedom 2.4 cordless joystick lost calibration. Maybe not as quickly as the Attack 2 or the Extreme 3D Pro did, but the result is the same. I did get a couple of months out of the Freedom 2.4 before the controller stopped working properly. And I'm not even a serious gamer! Oh, and don't bother trying to contact Logitech about the quality of their products. They won't respond. I've tried 3 of their controllers because they've been all I've been able to find on the shelves here. Let the consumer beware!!!
Rating: Summary: Good Idea, but poor quality. Review: Logitech gets an A for effort and a D for execution for the 2.4 Freedom cordless joystick. I really like the cordless idea and the communications with the PC works well. It is a little overly anxious to shut down to save power, but push any button and it wakes up again.It is the buttons and potentiometers that are the problem. I am on my second joystick now because the first one lost two buttons to failure and the twist jumped around all over the place making my jet fighter fly really poorly. I have had the second one installed for about a month now and the twist is starting to go again. I hope Logitech takes the good cordless approach and adds a little quality to the switches on their next attempt at a high quality cordless joystick. They just got too cheap this time.
Rating: Summary: STUPID BATTERY'S! Review: Slick exspensive joystick. By the way you have to make sure the scencor reads the joystick for it to work. anyways I had the battery's go out on me in the middle of a flight. so my tip to you is either have back up key board keys for flying or get a new joystick.
Good pc games:halflife
C-strike
Battle field 1942 (the ultimate war game)
You can drive tanks boats, jeeps, motorcycles, planes carriers etc. helocopters too.

Works like a charm. Go to ebay and buy a Factory Refirbushed one for around 20 thats what I did. http://store.yahoo.com/justdeals/ it works great! i suggest it to all Flight Sim people.
Rating: Summary: BAD NEWS BATT SAVER Review: THIS IS A FANTASTIC STICK UNLESS YOU ARE ON AUTOPILOT FOR MORE THAN 2MINS WITHOUT MOVING THE STICK.IT WILL GO INTO BATT SAVE AND THE PLANE WILL FULL THROTTLE.THIS IS ALSO ANNOYING WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO SET THE RADIOS WHILE SITTING INLINE TO TAXI FOR TAKEOFF AND IT FULL THROTTLES AND CRASHES INTO A JUMBO JET.OTHERWISE WHEN USING IT ITS GREAT.
Rating: Summary: Durability? Review: This joystick has an awesome grip and feeling. For like 2 months. After those two months its unusable. Same thing happend to a friend of mine. Though he bought the none cordless one.. The thing that happens is that when I try to pull up the joystick acts like Im pulling the stick forward and the airplane starts to dive, I have to pull the stick all the way to the back to be able to lift, so everytime I try to pull up, I automaticly dive before pulling up, which has led to many many unnecessary crashes and some humiliation. I do hope that this only happend to me and my friend, because if this stuff didnt happen this would be the greatest joystick of all time
Rating: Summary: Not for a Mac! Review: This joystick is advertised as compatible with Mac systems, specifically OS 8.6 or later. In reality, it is incompatible with System 10 and barely compatible with system 9 since it has no applicable software for Mac. The advertising is wrong and should be changed to "Not for Mac, PC only". Very frustrating.
Rating: Summary: WIRELESS DREAM! Review: This product is one of the first well made wireless joysticks i have ever used. The actual joystick uses a great blend of comfort and abilities. Most good joysticks now days tend to have lots of buttons but lack in there general comfort. This stick is capable of almost all of the great features of some of the other $100-$200 sticks and still is able to make long term gaming a breeze and greatly improve not only the stick but the game its self. Now you can't forget the fact that the logitec wingman is cordless this means that when it is time to put it away for other games that don't use the joystick you are able to move it quickly with out making your clean computer area look cluttered and not having to unplug any cords. Pros/Cons: Pro's -5 star Comfort -Good stick options (including side2side turning and throttle) -It's WIRELESS Con's -Bad set up program -5th button weirdly placed GREAT JOB LOGITEC!!
Rating: Summary: We can't break this thing!!! Review: This was on my son's Christmas list; so of course I blindly bought it. Since then it has been used daily and has worked perfectly. I know little about computers but I didn't have any trouble installing it's software, though the manual is terrible. I put some velcro on the receiver and hooked it to the monitor, so you can see the statis light. My kids have abused this thing without end and so far I think I got my moneys worth.
