Advantages: Erganomic, plenty of buttons, Smooth

Disadvantages: Not Cheap!!

I recently bought a Joystick, but not just any joystick it was a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro. It cost around £85, This is slightly more than I wanted to pay for a joystick But it is after all Microsoft, and as we all know Microsoft are renown for their quality.
This particular joystick is force feedback which means it moves and vibrates when for example you are Playing a flight sim you come to land, you may often like me crash, when you crash it will move violently to add more realistic properties to the game.
This joystick has a very strong force feedback compared to the others on the market. If a game has the ability to offer force feedback there is guarantee that this joystick will work
If you are not convinced that this is a good joystick then this might, it is a plug 'n` play device, which means when you plug it in it will automatically work with no calibrating and installing, the only thing you might want to change is the strength of the "return to centre" and the "feedback".
The joystck has a ton of buttons 8 buttons 1 throttle wheel and 1 "8 way hat switch"
There are 8 more when you press the shift button.
The joystick has very smooth and accurate movement giving the game player maximum ability to make precice movements. To stop the joystick moving when you are not holding it, it has an infra-red sensor to detect you hand.
