I've been buying MS Sidewinder Prec 2 usb sticks for years off ebay.
Normally sold at 50$ new, I usually manage to be patient and pick them up for around 25$ and shipping.
Still lots of good MS sticks out there, just need to be very sure what your buying, and know what your willing to spend.

I had nothing to do with it, my browser opened automatically and up came this listing :noid :noid :noid maybe it was the ghost of Lynx or Wilbuz guiding me :noid :noid :noid
It really is in top notch condition I'm jealous mate! I'll have to post a few pics of my stick, I think to many sweaty hand fights over the years have taken there toll on it :( that being said I'd hate to see what Batfinks looks like :D

People on ebay were paying top dollar for the MS feedback stick with the red buttons couple years ago. Don't know the status on price now, but I read there was only a limited amount of the sticks with the red buttons made.
-
Nice sofa :old: :banana: :x
-
It's an orange throw. :D
-
What CH stick is that?
-
It's the CH T56 very rare :old:
-
he is collecting joysticks like some stamp collecter. Maybe in the future he will open a joystick musuem :noid

Combat Stick.

What's the differences between the red button one and grey button one?
-
The color? :old:
-
I think the red one is a later version, but I don't know what they changed.

Mine lasted about 5 year's then the hat switch went out . I bought a Saitek AV8R-01 and it's not near as good as the old MSFF2 .

No , pervert . I order this Saitek stick instead . Big mistake ! Was trying to find that post now . Thanks for your help .
-
Search for "Mouser"- he lists them as the source in his post.
-
Found it thanks ...
-
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 logicrap forcefeedback stick it's very nice when it decides to work :old:
I still have it boxed :old:
-
sweet deal Kaz I can't find one under 60
-
kazaa , please do a video review if you can . I would love to see that ..
-
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.
-
Let me know if you want to sell it Getback.
-
Do you have any walking sticks Kaz? :old: :joystick:
-
If he don't zack1234 , he can use mine :D
:noid

Just back from unwanted vacation, I picked 1 up even cheaper ...FREE!!! :neener: my friend had no idea what he had. I have never used FF and getting alot of nose bounce, any suggestions :headscratch: besides the obvious, learn howto fly :salute to all, looking forward to you shooting me down

Pitch scaling, MS sticks tend to need some nice low curve scaling set up.
-
My review of MS Sidewinder will have to wait because there are currently a few bugs with AH2 and force feedback.
-
One bug can be overcome by disabling all force feedback, selecting Apply, then immediately re-enabling and clicking Apply again. Otherwise the forces are all maximum (which can make it hard to do anything). You have to do this once every time you log into an arena or start AH.

cc 715, I found that I needed to do this twice in a row to get trim working as intended.

Hey guys, a quick update:
I've fully adopted the FFB2 as my stick of choice even though the FFB effects don't work 100% with Aces High. I even went back to my CH Combatstick to give it a second chance but found myself going right back to the FFB2 after a couple of days.
It's a shame Microsoft discontinued this fantastic piece of hardward, having FFB seems like cheating almost. Maybe a petition is in order. :aok
-
What're the advantages of the ffb stick? I've only ever used a ch stick

Having FFB allows me to adjust the sensitivity needed to move the stick, this is more of a convenience. Most importantly, I can feel the stall buffet through the stick. :aok

Oh man it's getting kind of mucky I will have to take it apart and deep clean soon. I was sent mine by a very kind squaddie about 3 years ago. It's still in perfect working order but handle has a worn down smooth patch where my hand sits :lol
-
That's actually really neat. I like everything but the base of the stick. Might have to look into one of these.

It seems whenever Microshaft makes a good product it gets discontinued.

Turning a K4 with the FF2 is hilarous loose grip on the stick and it firing of in every direction like a caged animal, thats when you know your turning it right :lol

This is true. However, Microsoft did start reproducing their world famous Intelli Mouse Explorer 3.0 to FPS gamers delight.

Is there anyone that fixes these stick's . I rather pay someone to fix mine than try to myself . If I try to fix it , it mite never work again , lol .
