Great Joystick, and lasts a long time
I've had this joystick ever since Windows 98 and it still performs like it was brand new. Many times I've thrown this thing on the ground frustrated (not from the joystick but the game). It hasnt broken yet, and it doesnt seem like it ever will. The joystick itself fits your hand like it was made for it. When it gives force feedback, it adds a whole new edition to the game. The only bad thing about this joystick is that it must be plugged into a power outlet to get the force feedback. But it has treated me very well, even though I might have abused it a bit.

Works fine in Windows XP
Anyone that says the Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 doesn't work in Windows XP is dead wrong. I have been using mine for years and it works perfectly in Windows XP without installing any drivers. As soon as I plug it into a usb port it works. <br /> <br />It is always detected perfectly in the Game Controller section of the Control Panel and the calibration is built into Win XP also. All I need to do it plug it <br /> <br />I'm currently using this in Battlefield 2 and it is truly a great feeling joystick. Super consistent with great feel and response. Built solid also. Highly recommended.

wont work with xp, microsoft discontinued support
I really have to wonder about some of the recent reviews on this sidewinder. I wonder if they are written by people selling this unit (no authorized dealers sell the sidewinder for a year, it is only third party sellers). <br /> <br />Microsoft discontinued this a year ago along with ALL support. It will not work with with XP. just google sidewinder, usb and joystick and you will see many many people who are having problems. I am not talking about n00bs, but experts on various gaming and flight sim boards. <br /> <br />It will work one day and not the next, you need to do some pretty serius registry hacks once a week. <br /> <br />and as I said microsoft will tell you they have nto supported this joystick for a year, and have removed all their supporet pages. If you mention this joystick and xp, they will say, sorry, can not help you at all.

A fine stick for XP
This is a good joystick for casual flight sim and mech-combat games. It's fairly responsive, it has eight buttons plus an eight-way hat and a throttle. It does not have the shift button of the original MS Force Feeback Pro, but it also does away with that sticks oversized power brick. <br /> <br />It lacks some specialty features available on other sticks. Many games demand more buttons. For these, you may require an additional throttle or button-brick. It also lacks the extra dimensional controls of sticks such as the Gravis Xterminator, which are useful for some sims. <br /> <br />Overall, this stick is worth picking up if you can get it for a price in line with other force feedback sticks, but the current market has inflated its price beyond its usefulness. <br /> <br />I feel obliged to comment on XP support, as several others have disparaged it: <br />This stick works consistently without additional software on each machine I have tried it on with XP Sevice Pack 2. I don't know if there are problems without SP2, but I can't find the forums other reviewers have mentioned, so I'm inclined to think the problem has been resolved.

Sorry it works with XP
I have had this joystick for as long as it has been on the market, it has migrated for a 98 comp to ME, to XP with out a hint of problems. If you had problems with this Stick the problem must have been your comp. or you! It is to bad that Microsoft hit in some of the final nails in the flight sim coffin with it withdraw from this market.
