Glunz, I bought one of those because I liked my Wingman Extreme Digital 3d and have 2 computers.  I thought they would be very similar, but with FF support.  What I found out was the Strike Force 3d is HORRIBLE.

It has about and inch of slack around the center, and the FF motors will suddenly turn on and off since AH doesn't currently support them.  The motors also have a very rough feel to them.  The stick also spikes very badly in the rudder axis.

Trust me, don't buy it, you'll hate it.

I have had a Wingman Extreme 3D Digital stick for almost a year now and have had no problems with it at all.  Its a "twisty-stick" rudder, but I remapped the rudder control to the keyboard.  Its a great little cheap stick.

So, you say that the same stick, with FF motors, becomes very inaccurate etc.

But plain Wingman Extreme 3D is good ?

Spikes, jitter ?

I like my Logitech Wingman Force 3D although maybe because AH does not yet support force feedback, it tends to get the quivers and evoke the message Don't Move Your Stick So Fast.  The resultant brief freeze can prang you in during a low fight.
