    Hi everyone:)
    This is my new stick Saitek Cyborg 3D Force (Force feed-back) :super: Don't ask how much I paid for it.:)
    I want to ask everyone who read this to tell which stick he have. I am interested to know which sticks are the most popular.
    Does anyone here have force-feedback stick? :joystick:

    Logitech's Wingman Strike Force 3d, I had to sell one eye of my face to buy it... Force Feedback and everything, but I'm not really happy with it :mad: , it has just 4 months and it's beggining to have some deadband... I don't know what I'll be buying next, coz this one isn't going to last much... :(

    I have a logitech wingman... POS! moves when it wants to random places. Almost impossible to fly with it.

    I bought a Saitek cyborg 3d (no force feedback) and it [looked/felt] great. Too bad my computer wouldn't take it because it's too crappy... It still felt like a great stick. And with the spring in the base, it seemed that no deadband would appear in it.

    Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner...

    seperate throttle, much better than my old Logitech Wingman Digital Extreme... which broke in half after doing too much hi-G maneuvers (I tried to squeeze more G's from my stick ;)) this stick is working for 1,5yrs now and I have no deadband...

    I got a MS Sidewinder Precision Pro: perfectly accurate and good ergonomy.
    Before this I was using a LT Wingman Extreme 3D: very bad joy for accuracy, durability and deadband.
    I'm not really happy to make Billy boy richer, but I have to admit that MS Precision Pro has the best cost/quality ratio (I paied 25 $ for it).

    Best regards

    WingMan® Strike Force? 3D


    [​IMG]

    i can not say the same as perdomo, i think its a good stick, if u hold it in the hand, if not ....

    i only have one problem:
    if the stick is a long time in the center position (flying with autopilot) then it began to vibrate in all axis - result: lose the autopilot mode + stick is jumping on the table

    - i dont know the reason, perhaps it is the os (w2k) or ... or ... ????

    Re: WingMan® Strike Force? 3D


    I have the same problem with Logitech non-FF model, and that's why i consider it a bad joy.
    IMO cause is a combination of excess of free movement, springs weakness and low resistors accuracy.
    Belive me: MS much more accurate. I never need to use f12 with it, while i was pushing that key all the time with LT.
    I'm sad of writing this beacuse i'm generally a Logitech estimator: their mice are excellent IMO.

    Best regards

    I used top have a logitech wing man extereme and had the same problems. Plus after 1.5 years the plastic just desinigrated. very cheaply made. I am much happier with SAITECH,

    I have F22 Pro+TQS, but i can't play WB with it due to too strong springs! Instead I use a 5-year old Thrustmaster FCS!!! After 5 years it is working PERFECTLY! Springs are a bit lighter now but there is no deadband and I never used f12. Only troubles are with connection cable, and worn out buttons, but both are working after some maintenance.

    If I could find a new example of this stick i would pay 500$ for it!

    (I hope I don't jinx it by praising so much) :D

    I just made a routine of it to press the F12 button, it's to calibrate my rudder, which is located on my throttle... it's just one of those things to make sure my stick's lined up, not that I need it, coz it gets auto calibrated on install... hands off affaire
