Customer Review: Sidewinder Precision Pro: You will need to buy a USB adapter
Summary: 1 Stars
I was very disappointed after purchasing a used Sidewinder Precision Pro Joystick. I learned later that the device has a 2 row 15 pin connector setup. This will not fit on a PC newer than about 2003 or 2004. If you wanted to use this then, you would need to purchanse an adapter which I have not bought yet. I will get the adapter and see if it works, it costs I think $10 or $15. I wish though, I would have gotten a joystick with a USB connector.Customer Review: Good....for a while

Ok I recieved this joystick a year ago for FS2002 and it was awesome. I used it for Battlefield 1942 and FS for a long time. Then, 3 days ago, I plugged it in and got no response. The drivers on Microsofts page were for the problem but only worked for Windows 95 or 98. Thanks Microsoft. Moral is: If you want a joystick for a short period of time, buy it. If not, get the new logitech wireless. It is a P.O.S.
Customer Review: Microsoft sidewinder does not work ......
Summary: 1 Stars
Pay attention. Microsoft Sidewinder does not work ! Drivers are out off date,microsoft develops no new version for the sidewinder joystick. The sidewinder with gameport connector does not work under windows XP !
Maybe the USB version.
Lots off people on different forums tell the same !
And I heared more: under windows XP lots of microsoft game controllers dont work !
So inform Yourself
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.
