I am proud to be a MS Sidewinder FFB Pro (2) user again !!!
I am active member of flightsim community,A10,rise of flight,black shark, IL2 over 10 yrs incl dynamic onlinewars, full real( no icons nthg,mapposition is your brain),track ir 3..4..5..,CH pedals,x52 ,x52 pro,several logitech sticks ,also 940 crap.... all dead after 2-3 month,etc
one of my squad mates from sweden sent me a ms sw ffb pro 2 usb stick and i cant describe how happy i am about that =)
this stick is ...hmm about 15 to 20 yrs old and feels like brand new ,nothing is worn out,AMAZING!!!
no single scratch on surfce,buttons shiny,cables still agile.....
logitech crap gets worn out after 2-3 month,x52 series is unprecise and also wears out quickly...the MS stick is 15 yrs old and still in fokin great shape !!!!
A sealed box of this stick you can find on amazon for 600 dollars
A used one with one year warranty about 150 euro.
Woah wing commander with force feedback is like S.X hehehe
Forget warthog,cougar and this overprized rest...(i tested them)...if you want best ergonomics ,best force feedback of all time and unbelievable reliability...MS still is and sadly ever will be the stuff.
An other option is really hardcore...there are replicas of original ww2 sticks out there to buy...tarmacaces.com
carbonfibre 1:1 replica of the german me109 stick...unbeatable in ergonomics since ww2 ... fun starts at 1000 euro
maybe when i hit the jackpot i will order a complete set and build up a cockpit
