Ive had this stupid stupid THING for about a year.Every time i play IL-2 the calibration gets all messed up.Im so PISSED.
Rating: - Great design, but doesn't work!
I bought this joy stick because I really liked its design and ergonomics. The installation was a snap and the profiler software it comes with is easily configurable. However, it became completely unplayable after a few minutes (I was playing Grand Theft Auto) because it's calibration messed up. Now, I know my way around computers, but there is nothing I could do to fix the calibration, aside from unplugging/re-plugging the damn joystick every few minutes (not acceptable). I tried the newest drivers/software, removing the profiler, doing manual re-calibration, but I never got it to work properly. If you search the net, you'll see that many people had this problem, but Logitech never formally responded to it (bad customer support from my point of view). I have Windows 2000 professional installed, so I don't know if this is OS specific problem (again based on my research it seems to happen on other platforms as well). My advice, stay away from this Joystick and get something better (I got a Saitek controller and it works great). Oh, and, of course, do your research before you buy.
Rating: - delivers what you need for under $20
This is hardly a "deluxe" model, but it's a good stick for under $20. Compared to joysticks costing $30 or more, the WingMan feels like it has too many loose-fitting parts, and the buttons are made from lightweight, cheesy-looking plastic. But it works just fine. This is one of the few sticks I've seen that doesn't squeak or creak; a sort of rubber collar at the base creates an odd but quiet sound. Also this stick doesn't have horizontal and vertical "grooves" -- it feels the same in all directions. I like the firmness of the throttle control which lets you power up your engines smoothly. The base is heavy and stays firmly on the desk. I use it with a Dell Inspiron 4000 running Win2000. Setup was painless -- I just plugged in and calibrated. Oddly, the Windows control panel calls the throttle control a "Z-axis" instead of a "slider." This might cause a problem if your game doesn't allow you to reassign this control.
Rating: - Compatibility
This product is a great controller, and has been compatible so far...
However, it does not seem to be compatible with Need For Speed Underground, and I have not yet got a resolution from either Logitech or EA Games.
Rating: - Pretty Good But With Many Error Messages
I have had this joystick for a few months now and I have not found a game that it is not compatible with. But sometimes I get error messages from windows like "Device is malfunctioning, try unplugging it and replugging it in again" that doesn't work and I have to restart my pc. Otherwise it is a pretty good joystick overall.
