I don't get it.... Why buy that (add it to the "collection") when you have a CH Fighterstick AND a Saitek x52 already??

Will you ever use it?

MS Sidewinder are the best of the FFB sticks.
And even the ones without FFB are still some of the smoothest sticks out there.

I suspect he'll use it, and probably learn to use the FFB Buffet to be able to turn just a smidge tighter with better feedback.

Well Krusty,

I have ickle hands, the CH Combat Stick is a monster. the Sidewinder FFB2 fits my hand like a glove.
I wanted to try force feedback for the first time.
I wanted to test for myself first hand what all the fuss was about. Pervert loves his and doesn't stops going on about it. :D

I'll test the sidewinder for a few weeks and tell you if it is good enough to replace my CH Combat Stick. I might even do a table top video review for it along with my other sticks.

Let me know what you want to know about any of the sticks in my collection and I'll try to cover the subject.

1. it looks like a joystick should ie not a gimmick, the CH stick looks like this also.

2. they don't make FF joysticks to this standard any more.

3. it will probably out last the CH in wear and definitely out last the x52.

I have a Sidewinder in mint condition. Never used. This is good to know that you can get so much for them in case I need a few bucks.
