Very close to unused.  :lol I think I used it for about 3 months and then kept it as a backup and used it as such. In the picture is the stick, the power adapter, and the usb adapter.

Full disclosure: I have never been able to get it to work with the USB adapter. You should research this prior to purchase. I have had it setup quite nicely with the sound card port. I couldn't find the drivers although I will continue looking. I really don't think you need them. Also, it takes some adjustments to get it to work in-game. So be patient. I will tell you it is fun-fun-fun. I purchased it the last year Microsoft produced them.

I'm asking a minimum of $50 bucks plus shipping. Any less I will simply not part with it as I am reluctant to do so anyway. I've used the Sidewinder series since I began playing flight sims in 1996 then switched to Saitek for a short while and then to CH pro.

you have to have the software for it i am sure if you post something in the main forums here someone still has it. i think SWrokit had it at one time or another but i am sure there are others too

The only bad thing is if you have windows 7 it is incompatible.

I'll test that theory off line.
