An overall GREAT Joystick for any Gamer!

by etrustman , May 28 '00
Pros: Excellent Control! DIGITAL PRECISION! plus, there are many buttons
Cons: Shift option is hard to control.
This was my first time using a digital joystick and, I’ll tell you, the experience went quite well. The reason I had bought it was basically because I needed a joystick that could be used harshly with any game and I had heard that this was the best for...

Precision Pro? Well, within a hundred pixels or so.

by strykerbc , Jul 23 '02
Pros: Easy to configure, USB support, ergonomic design, price is right
Cons: A pain to calibrate, then randomly loses its calibration during gameplay
I purchased the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro because of its $59.99 price tag at CompUSA, and my need for a new joystick. My old Gravis Blackhawk was still reliable, but I needed something more complex for the new wonder that is Jane's F/A-18. I'd...

3D gamers joystick of choice

by blkfury , Jul 02 '00
Pros: Buttons, configurability, design, USB or gameport
Cons: Wears out over time
My dad recently got 2 Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro's for the price of one, and I was lucky enough to get the one he didn't use. I normally would have thought a joystick wasn't really any good for playing games, but I was seriously wrong. Without...

One of the best joysticks ever.

by bobmp3_99 , May 29 '01
Pros: Precise, usb compatible, egornomical design that molds to your hands
Cons: not perfect for lefties.
I need a joystick at my computer at my dad’s house for playing some of my favorite games, so I use his Microsoft Precision Pro. This joystick is great for all the buttons and features it has. I really enjoy this joystick.

Ergonomically...

Simply sweet...

by Anubis_KOAGS , May 28 '00
Pros: Comfortable feel, easily customizable, precise motion, USB ease
Cons: Bulky base, overly sensitive hat switch
To get the best use of this, you'll need to connect it to your USB port, and if you don't have a USB port, get one... Hot-swappable capability simply rules.

Optical tracking = no calibration = quick game starts. I always hated having to...

Good Microsoft Product? It is so!

by maxcool , Jun 23 '01
Pros: Excellent joystick; many buttons
Cons: Buttons on the back hard to reach during intensive gameplay
Intro
Before you read this, know that I am not the biggest fan of Microsoft. I try not to get too involved in insulting companies, but I do insult their products (check out my XBox review if you don't believe me). However, I am quite...

Why did I wait so long to buy a great joystick?

by brim , Dec 14 '99
Pros: Lotsa cool buttons, precise feel, LOTSA COOL BUTTONS!
Cons: Not recommended for sports games. Microsoft..argh!
The Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro brings a whole new dimension to flying games. I purchased this joystick so I could play Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator (which I also highly recommend! Maybe I'll write a review later.) I also use it for Star...

Comfortable and Accurate, You Can't Go Wrong With It

by kar_ryhn , Jul 16 '00
Pros: Comfortable, Accurate, Programmable
Cons: Throttle Wheel issue, Programming Interface could use a print function
When many people think about Microsoft, they cringe as images of Illegal Operations and General Protection Faults come to mind, as well as the recent anti-trust lawsuit. Many people out there believe that all Microsoft Products are evil, and refuse to...

Sidewinder Precision Pro is a Joy of a Stick!

by swb Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Jan 24 '00
Pros: works well, ease of set up and installation
Cons: none
The Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick is a great affordable joystick. It is a great compromise between much more expensive units, and those cheap units that are poorly made and lacking in programmable buttons. There are plenty of options for...

An Oldie But A Goodie

by parallax , Jan 28 '01
Pros: Nice ergonomic design, 8 buttons with a shift, many features, smooth gameplay, affordable price
Cons: Gameport compatibility issues
I recently bought the Microsoft SideWinder Precision Pro for only 20 dollars at a bargain site. I have never actually tried a joystick before in my entire life so I was thought it would be great time to try out one. Even though this joystick is a bit...

precision pro II is definately not second!

by jjbrickley , Oct 26 '00
Pros: ease of install, predefined game definitions
Cons: haven't found any... yet.
I've used standard joysticks always paying as little as possible for what I could get. Why? well, once I did pay almost $80 for a WingMan Extreme and it broke within the first two months.... I promised never to pay that much again. Well, technology is...

The BEST Joystick

by WRC123 , Aug 29 '00
Pros: Easy install, good features, good tracking
Cons: Negligible USB problems
Quite awhile ago I purchased Microsoft's Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick. I was skeptical at first, because some of Microsoft’s products had been shabby in the past. Fortunately, this joystick worked very well.

The joystick has some nice...

I like this thing!

by tfinnegan , Oct 10 '00
Pros: Quality workmanship, features
Cons: price
When I started to get games for my computer I soon realized that I needed to get a joystick to get the proper gaming experience. I went to CompUSA and checked out their wide selection of joysticks. They had some nice equipment, but there were also some...

A Great Stick!

by kritical , Jan 23 '00
Pros: Programmable Buttons, Built in rudder
Cons: Not super realistic.
Right from the start is going to have a slant so I will explain that first. I went out a couple years ago searching for a joystick. I bought CH, I bought Thrustmaster, Logitech, I bought some 10 dollar thing, hell I bought em ALL. Each stick had its fine...

When Microsoft makes something good

by Chod , Jan 11 '00
Pros: Has everything a controller can have, Precise, Easy to use
Cons: Price may be too high
It just does not really get that much better with joysticks than the Precision Pro. I bought this joystick about a month or so ago because my trusty Logitech Wingman Extreme (the original) finally died after five years. After looking around at a few...
