Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro Joystick

Customer Review: Do not buy this joystick...
Summary: 1 Stars

I thought it would work, I should have listedn to the other reviewers who had trouble connecting it to a modern PC.
I did buy it and it did not come with a USB adaptor, rendering it useless.
I sent it back and got a refund, and got the Logitec joystick for about $20, it works fine and was much cheaper.

Description of Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro Joystick

Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro is an ultimate joystick! Microsoft's patented digital-optical joystick technology gives you the absolute control to dominate. It delivers continuously-correct calibration, no drift, and the durability of non-moving optical parts, so you move through your game with laser-like precision. Program single keystrokes and multiple keystroke moves to joystick buttons for commanding gameplay and exacting speed. Take advantage of the breakthrough Shift button to double the functionality of eight programmable buttons.
Featuring 10 programmable buttons, Microsoft's patented digital-optical technology, and continuously correct calibration, the SideWinder Precision Pro delivers just the right amount of control in a standard joystick.

Installing the SideWinder Precision Pro was easy and fast. We simply plugged it into the game port on our sound card, installed the SideWinder Game Controller software, and we were shooting 'em up in no time. The joystick also ships with a USB converter for those using Windows 98 who want fast plug-and-play action.

The completely programmable buttons are a great feature, letting you put the controls exactly where you want them. The SideWinder Precision Pro's ergonomic design feels comfortable in the hand, and the weight and traction on the bottom of the joystick keep it from moving around. We found that the movement of the joystick was a little stiff, which sometimes made it difficult to fully appreciate the games.

If you're looking for the most advanced features and want a truly intense gaming experience, look into getting a force-feedback joystick. But if that's not your cup of tea, the SideWinder Precision Pro is a great joystick at an unbeatable price.

Pros:

  • Programmable buttons for more control
  • Shift button doubles program features
  • Tons of features for the price
  • Easy to install

Cons:

  • Stiff joystick movement
