Summary: Good stick -- until..
Review: ..the X/R-axis potentiometers wear out (after 1-3 weeks). I'm done w/ Logitech until they change back to non-mechanical pickups for the X/Y/R axis (like the Interceptor.) I'd recommend the Logitech WingMan Extreme Digital 3D or (if you can get your hands on one..) the Microsoft Force Feedback 2 (red skin edition). Stay away from the Logitech Freedom 2.4 Joystick -- same problem w/ the pots !

Summary: Has serious calibration issues...
Review: After just three days the stick began to behave erratically and randomly de-calibrate. Unplugging and reconnecting the joystick, or rebooting the computer, can sometimes restore calibration -- but only temporarily. At one time the Logitech forums were littered with posts from users experiencing similar problems, and a quick Google for 'Logitech joystick problem' will unearth hundreds of such testimonies.

This defect exists in Logitech's entire range of joysticks -- they are an utter waste of money.

Do not buy!

Summary: PLEASE READ
Review: hey everyone
i bought it more than a month ago
i had the SAME problem everyone gets with this joystick JUST yesterday
i did everything that could solve the problem, but none worked, until, i found a point about the problem in the Read Me file
there is a .exe file on the logitech CD, that solves the problem by removing all the calibration settings for all the game controllers in the REGISTRY
it works as the day it came!!! the x-axis centered, yet a bit unstable, but does not effect ur game (as 1st time)
this is a cheap-price joystick, and Made In China, don't compare it to a CH joystick, made in USA and for +200$
yet GREAT joystick, for the price...hope i helped everyone with the problem

Summary: It was good while it lasted
Review: I bought this item 3 months ago, and it worked fine, I was having a very enjoyable time. Then it stoppped going to the left. I wouls try to turn the plane, and it would turn very slow to the left, and very fast to the right. Thats the only problem I have found in it after 3 months of use. So if you want a joystick for only a couple months, this is a great buy, other than that.. waste of money!

Summary: Terrible
Review: I bought this joystick because it felt good in the store and 2 friends have the cordless version and like it. Lo and behold I have some problems, check forums and everyone is complaining about it. Twist starts to fail and there is no calibration to compensate as everyone here points out. Even the software on their site to add dead zones does not work, at least with XP! The main trigger is now failing also - after just 2 weeks! Don't buy this one, you'll regret it.

Summary: Great joystick, if you plan to use it for 1 month.
Review: I had previously owned a logitech digital extreme 3d. It broke down after several years of use. The twist on the stick failed. I bought a new one (Extreme 3D Pro) and the same failure happened within a month. Oh, and another thing was that I couldn't find the menu tab to calibrate it. I think the software developers forgot about it? the drivers that come with windows however do allow you to calibrate easily.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: DO NOT BUY!!!!!
Review: I have exchanged this joystick 4 times at Walmart due to the calibration loss issue. 4 JOYSTICKS in 4 MONTHS. You will be sorry you bought it I assure you. people recomend Saitek, Microsoft, or CH joysticks. Find someone who recomends this Logitech and I'll show you someone with a dusty stick.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Stick buy has Calibration Problems Occasionally
Review: I have to agree with others that this stick does have occasional calibration problems. However they are easily fixed by rebooting my PC. I found unpluging it sometimes worked too. I don't find the calibration problems to be that big of a problem. Other than that the stick is very good. It's got a good feel to it, more than enough buttons, and the software works well that comes with it. It's greatly improved my flying ability in Battlefield 1942. I would have given this stick 5 stars if it didn't have the calibration problem but even with that, it's still a great stick.
