Summary: Good but after a while u need a better joystick
Review: i had this joystick for about 3 years now. ive been playin janes f-15 and mircosoft flight simulator 2002. when i was playin FS2002 i found out that it had a slight problem, it wouldnt center when i was trying to take off it would go off the runway and continue goin left, the only way u would be able to center it is when u constantly apply right force to equal the left. after a while of doing this my wrists would hurt from the pain. so in the end i juss bought the logictech wingman attack 2 for around 18 bucks on this site and so far everything looks good. i think the wingman attack 2 is a better deal, it has the same feel as the extreme 3d the only exception is that the extreme 3d has more buttons! thats it other than that same performance!

Summary: Not bad for the price
Review: I have been playing Unreal Tournament with this stick, and have found it quite easy to maneuver the halls, and to switch weapons with the POV. The trigger works exceptionally well, and with the aid of mouse targetting have worked through tournaments quickly and effeciantly. The base is quite heavy, and setup was a snap wiht the usb interface. A real steal for the price.

Summary: Great all-around stick
Review: I have used the Wingman force feedback joystick and this stick and, for the money, I'll take this stick anyday.

The handle fits my hand well. The overall feel is one of durability yet fluid movement. The return to center is quick and strong. The button location is good overall, but the hat switch could be better designed. A minor point, but your finger can slip off the switch during fast gameplay, due to its shallow, somewhat slick design.

One feature I really like is the handle twist. Really nice for rudder movement on flight sims and good for looking from side-to-side in first person shooters.

Add to this the great trigger response and cool base design and you have a winning package.

Summary: Wears out in a year!
Review: I haven't even had mine a year and it's already worthless! The twist handle function jumps around way too much and there's no way to shut it off! Every time I try to take off in a flight sim, the whole plane veers off to the left! The set screw on the side is a joke! Even if you do tighten it down, the needle still jumps all over the place in the calibration program. The only games I play with it are flight sims, so there's no reason why it should wear out this fast! I never made any really hard movements with it. It worked like a dream at first! I don't know why they can't be as good as they used to be. I have an OLD stick with our Apple IIe that still works perfectly! You never have to calibrate it or anything! It just works!

Summary: Excellent Stick
Review: I just got this joystick from circuit city and all I had to do was put the installation CD in, plug in the joystick, and it works great. I am running windows XP, and had no problems at all installing this, unlike some other joysticks.

I use this stick mostly for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, and it works great with it. Flying, landing, taking off, everything works well. The stick is definetly worth the price.

Summary: Good for a while
Review: I really loved this joystick for awhile. The rotating joystick feature was especially good. The problem is that this feature gives out eventually. I used to play Decent 3 with this joystick and one day, when I went to play the game, the shuttle got stuck in a perminant spin. When I turn this feature off, the shuttle stopped spinning. Had the joystick for only a year.

Summary: Worthless
Review: I thought I'd take a chance on this joystick at such a low price, but it's not even worth the frustration when it wears out in a month. Heed the negative reviews. Logitech hasn't improved their joysticks' calibration in 10 years, and they probably never will.

Summary: Followup review
Review: I wanted to do a quick followup review of this stick. My first impressions were quite good. The stick had all the buttons I wanted. Throttle and rudder controls. It worked great. Looked great. That was 2001...how time flies! But I still have this same stick and I've used the heck out of it. So how does it work in 2003 (almost 2004)? Well, just exactly how it did when I first bought it. Amazing stick!
