Logitech WingMan Force Joystick

Pros: force feedback, lots of features
Cons: uses precious electrical outlets, right-hand only

I’ve seen the all the hoopla about force-feedback joysticks and steering wheels for a long time. I’ve seen them in the stores, priced well over $100.00 and thought to myself that having the computer move the stick around wouldn’t be that big of a deal...

Pros: USB, Easy to setup, big footprint. Cable Drive
Cons: Lack of rudder control

I bought one of these from onsale.com a few months ago for only $40 (They still have them for that price from time to time!)

Let me just say, I was not sure about force feedback, thinking it was a novelty. However once I plugged it in,...

Pros: Compatible, Sensor Thing, Cool testmode, Nice 'Vibratones'
Cons: Space Consumer , Righties Only

Yep, it was my first date with that sweet girl in my grade. After going to the movies we decided to go to my house to play around. We sat down and then.. I let her play with my joystick. At first it hurt, then it felt good to know that my joystick was...

Pros: Heavy, sturdy design, software highly programable, nice feel
Cons: Base sits a little too high, but not a real deterent

I bought this joystick as a replacement for an older joystick without much programability OR force feedback. I've wanted force feedback for quite some time but just didn't have the money to justify the cost. Finally I found this one at an online auction...

Pros: Price, size, left-hander can use
Cons: No support, no game profiles, feedback almost nothing at full stick deflection, poor documentation.

Near the beginning of July, Logitech released an "economy" force feedback joystick called the "Wingman Force 3D". This is a review of this brand new product, not the older, more established "Wingman Force" joystick. Since...

Pros: Durable, yet smooth feel
Cons: No rudder

I had pined for a force feedback joystick for years, ever since they were fist mentioned in the high-tech journals. But, with my budget, I had to wait ... and wait ... and wait ... until ...

I saw it at Best Buy, somewhat bedraggled, sitting...

Pros: Great response, simple programing, very functional
Cons: Calibration issues, higher cost

This article covers a newer model of force feedback joystick offered by Logitech: the Wingman Strike Force 3D. This is a stick that far exceeds the capabilities of its predecessors and also beats them in cost.

Features:
1. 4-axes of...

Pros: Better price than Microsoft's force feedback joystick, and supposedly better performance.
Cons: Very big, not very well supported in Windows 2000, does not support many popular games.

This particular joystick came highly recommended by one of my roommates who gets to play with force-feedback hardware daily, working for <a href= http://www.immersion.com/ >Immersion</a> (the people who designs the technology used in...

Pros: The handle fits more comfortably in your hand and the button positions are easy to reach and uses a light touch. The base is big enough for good stability. For each new game that you install ( that uses a game stick controller ), the WingMan Force can set
Cons: Even though the base is big, it could be a little bit heavier for those quick maneuvers( Velcro works wonders ). The Wingman Force utilizes yet another AC/Outlet.

Being a father of 3 boys ranging from 15 to 10, it was hard to find a joystick that could last. The WingMan Force has lasted longer than any of my purchases. Like its predecessor ( WingMan Warrior ) The WingMan Force has the same design with a few xtra...

Pros: WOW
Cons: -this doesn't apply-

This joystick is one the best which I have ever had the pleasure of handling. The ergonomics are superb; never fatiguing or uncomfortable. the buttons are in all the right places and your left thumb comes to rest on a smooth-as-silk throttle.
...

Pros: Comfortable Stick, smooth Feed back
Cons: Large base,

I've been thinking about joining the Air Force, but why go thourgh all that training when I could go pull a game of the shelfs at Best Buy and feel the shock of a missle fireing from my wing, or the after-burn of a F-16.

I have had my...

Pros: big easy to use
Cons: no rudder control

Ever played unreal with your mates run around corridors blowing each of other into little bitty pieces, well bad Idea with this stick. I've flown round the sky with one wing on you plan- well that’s what it can feel like with this stick !
