I've had my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick for many years. So many in fact... more than 5, maybe 10?! that I can not recall which version of Flight Simulator I got it for. It has held up well all these years. Each time Microsoft releases a new Flight Sim, I jump on it. This joystick has been used with all of them this decade. The "force feedback" motors and all firing buttons continue to work well. Even the throttle works like it did on day 1. I've used this with a number of car racing programs too. I'm running Win XP SP2 and SP3 - and no problems on either of those versions (worked find on Win98se too). I have not tried it on Vista.......
I've had this joystick for years now, and owned the original Sidewinder previously. This line of products was, in my opinion, one of the few things Microsoft did right. I tried the X52 and other joysticks and always go back to my good old reliable Sidewinder. Sure, it's not the newest, but it works for me.......
I bought this thinking that it was a Microsoft product and that I would have no problems with operating system compatibility for that reason. When I received it, I found that it isn't compatible with Windows Vista and Microsoft no longer supports it at all because they sold off the sidewinder products to another company. I returned this product and purchased a Saitek X52 Pro joystick. The Saitek doesn't have force feedback but has a lot more functionality than the Microsoft Sidewinder and is fully compatible with Vista.......
I was playing combat flight sim 2, chasing a zero in a dive with a corsair,torched the zero but had too much speed to pull out of the dive, game was so realistick I snapped the joystick just before crashing into the ocean! I need a damaged or broken sidewinder force feedback 2 joystick to possibly swap parts and fix mine,any other ideas?......
I have had and used the ForceFeed Back 2 Joystick sence it First came out

worked great with all my Flight Sim Games,I bought my First ForceFeed Back 2 Joystick in 1999,and after useing it for almost two years I lost the Rudder Control on the Joystick, I called Microsoft and ask them where I could get it serviced and repaired, the person I talked to ask me for the serial # on the bottom of the joystick,after I gave her that she told me just to throw that one away, and that they would just send me a nother one free of charge, In two days I had a Brand new ForceFeed back 2 Joystick which I have been useing sence 11/28/01 with out no problum.
I know they have stoped making them now,But I have just bought A nother New one here on line today for a backup just in case this one I have ever
Crashs,so far I have been useing it now for six Years with out a Problam
I Have allways had good results with All my Microsoft Products.
In My Opinion the ForceFeed Back 2 Joystick is a great Product.......
