Joystick with USB cable, CD-ROM with gaming software, setup guide, warranty and registration card Product Description LOGITECH Extreme 3D Pro Joystick -- Get your game face on with this specially designed Joystick. Its 12 fully programmable buttons give you an incredible amount of flexibility and performance. USB interface Requires Pentium PC with 64MB RAM, 20MB available hard disk space, CD-ROM drive, USB port, Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP; or Macintosh with USB port running Mac OS 9, OS 10.x or higher Reader Reviews The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick is a good all-around stick. For those wanting to use, say, Flight Simulator for educational purposes, the Extreme 3D is a good choice. In fact, this type of stick is much more realistic than models with "Force Feedback": the stick movement on a genuine modern helicopter in flight feels smooth and fluid, like power steering on your car. Force Feedback may be fun, but I don't think it's very realistic for many of the scenarios it's currently used in. Specifically, here's what I rated it by: * Quality of components and assembly: The action of the stick is smooth. No flimsy play in the controls. The hat switch and trigger pull have a positive feel with close tolerances. * Comfortable handgrip: like the overall product, the design and machining of the grip is off high-quality, without any annoying seems or sharp ridges. * Smooth throttle control: this is a small detail, but compared with some of the other models out there, it's notable. * Stable base that allows you to either rest it firmly on a table or in your lap. * Subtle movements are reflected in the game. * Overall appearance - it looks as good as it performs. Things to NOTE: * This is definitely a right-handed joystick. * It plugs into a USB port * I used it with Microsoft Flight Sim 2002 running on an XP Pro system: Installing the software that came with the joystick was effortless and when I opened Flight Sim, all of the buttons were already mapped to the appropriate functions.
