Well-made, but too sensitiveAug 16, 2009
A while back I finally had to dump my old Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback joystick. Not because the stick itself was bad but because I no longer had a working game port. The current generation of Sidewinders are a pale memory of the older models so I decided to give Logitech a try.
The force feedback on this joystick is great. It really pulls you into the game and gives you a feel for the action. The buttons are well places and very responsive. The placement of the throttle is a godsend. So many companies put the throttle in an out of the way area but in sim games like MechWarrior you need instant access to the throttle.
The downside of this stick is its sensitivity. Though I have gotten used to it the way the stick reacts takes away a bit of the enjoyment in games. Many times I find myself turning off the force feedback so I have better control, but then what was the purpose of this purchase?
If you need the sensitivity, get this stick. However most people should look elsewhere.

 customer service was great!!Mar 31, 2009
The first stck delivered did not work properly. The twist function did not work. With some minor trouble shooting Logitech sent a new one immediately.

 I now know reason for low price...Mar 24, 2009
This joystick was my first (and last from Logitech).
I cannot recommend this Product for the following reasons:
1) Mechanical connection for Force Feed-back is Intermitant,as best.
2) "button 11" works when it wants to.
3) Gives false inputs until it warms up by hand.
4) Force sensitivity cannot be calibrated (none to'stirring gravel')
5) Cannot cancel out 'rudder shimmy'
PROS:
1) solid,sturdy base.
2) It hasn't caught fire yet.

 Feel like this deserves a better rap than it's gettingDec 14, 2008
I've had this stick for a while now (a couple of years I guess); it's been excellent. Playing CFS3, Heroes of the Pacific for the most part. Hadn't played much for a while until recently, and now I come back to it it seems that it's no longer smooth (hence the missing star); this also makes it hard to keep it nicely centred. I guess it's just seizing up from not being used enough ;-)
I can't begin to understand how some of the others here are saying there's not enough feedback - could be that they haven't got it set up right (feedback level is customisable), that Logitech have come up with the most variable manufacturing process in history, or that those complaining of this are insensitive brutes. Whatever, it's been perfect for me - until it's begun to get sticky as mentioned above. Still perfectly usable with force feedback turned off (or no power to the stick) though.
Seeing the poor reviews here has actually prompted me to do one for the first time, I've liked my stick that much :-)

 worst forcefeedback everDec 13, 2007
I have been gaming for a long time now, and this by far is the worst joystick i have ever used. The force feedback on this joystick is nothing. If you are thinking of getting this, DON'T!!! When i read the reviews, i thought these people knew what they were talking about. They obviosly didn't. When i loaded the software into my computer, (I'm running off of vista) and tested it out, i could barely feel anything. I used to have a Microsoft Sidewinder with force feedback, and that was amazing. It was the best joystick i ever had. The pro force was not well made. when i pluged the powerpack in, it would not stay in the outlet because it was so loose. And when i pluged the other end into the joystick, it kept falling out too. The reciever was too big. The sensitvity was way too high. There was no dead zone at all. And when i tried to calibrate it, it didn't do anything. So to sum this all up,
Quality: 1
Durability: 2
Ease of use: 2
Force feedback resistence: 0
I would not recamend this product to anyone.
