Review of Logitech Extreme 3D Pro - joystick

...rudder and throttle control. The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Twist meets these criteria and so seems like a good buy, but all is not as it seems... Yes, it offers a total of twelve buttons. One trigger, four on the top, one thumb switch on the stick and six on the base. That is more than enough to cover the functions needed to get any budding pilot flying without too many moves to the keyboard. The last thing anyone needs it to have to look down at ...
...flaps so the Logitech scores full points there. The POV hat switch is a nice addition too, allowing you to easily glance out of any window you would like to choose, perfect for locating the airport or enemy. The twist and throttle controls are also very responsive, or at least they used to be. Time has taken its toll and whereas I could perfectly control thrust to within a percent or two and "crab" my way through lighter crosswinds using the rudder ...

Review of Logitech Extreme 3D Pro - joystick

The Logitech Extreme 3D Pro - sounds cool, right? Well yes it is. The action is smooth when you buy it and has a twist function for rudder control, meaning that you can do some pretty cool manouvres in flight (if that's your game). So, a happy story with a happy ending - I have game, I kill people, I fly fast, high, low, smooth - and we all live happily ever after? Not quite. 3 months after buying the Joystick (J/s - too lazy to type it again) It ...
...and become MUCH less responsive. The J/s then, bizarrely, started to yaw to the right when I banked to the left - result? Stall or complete lack of control. The fault was that the wires to the top panel and control hat (little directional-pad on the top of the J/s) were too short and had wrenched the potentiometer controlling the twist function from its housing. This in turn had pulled a wire from the mini-socket on the circuit board. After some ...

Review of Logitech Extreme 3D Pro - joystick

Hi. I bought one of these joysticks about 4 months ago and have been pretty pleased with it. It has 12 buttons on it which you can program to do what you want it to do and has a twist stick, (for say controlling the rudder in an aircraft). So far I have had no major problems. Lest take a flying game for example. The feel of the joystick is nice and has a nice tension on it so when I say bank the aircraft it feels like you have to push the stick with ...
...just to point out it isn't force feedback ). The twist doesn't have as much force on it so does seem a little easy to turn but is fine though. The buttons are nicely placed so they are easy to get to. Now on to the bad points, the top hat does tend to need a bit of pressure sometimes to get it to stay where you want it to look but isn't a major thing. Also the twist doesn't always want to stay going straight but it is very minor and not enough to ...

Review of Logitech Extreme 3D Pro - joystick

Box says it is Mac Compatible, but Logitech includes only software for the PC. Though some features work, the joystick is a waste of money for Mac users. Logitech does not even have the decency to answer emails regarding software for Mac. False Advertising!!! DO NOT BUY ...
