Customer Reviews of Logitech Force 3D Pro Joystick

Great build quality but the stick is just too finicky
I purchased this stick locally, as it was: <
> <
>A) the only stick of the three local PC shops that had force feedback (1 of the shops didn't even carry joysticks anymore, best buy only had like 2-3 in shop and this is in the SF Bay Area) <
> <
>B) felt the most comfortable and solid in build quality <
> <
>I have read all the positive reviews of saitek products but the build quality of them seems very low to their price ratio so I wanted to avoid purchasing one. They just look and feel very cheap to the touch so I wanted to try something different. <
> <
>I've owned the logitech stick for about a week now and will return it and try a Saitek Evo Force joystick. My main reasons are that there doesn't seem to be much support for the stick and that it's way too finicky in games. You will spend more time configuring the settings to the joystick than you will actually gaming. It's just way too sensitive and the center spring is not smooth enough so all movements are ridgid and feel as though you are fighting with plastic teeth (which you well are I guess) The logitech profile software that is pretty much essential in order to use this stick but also leaves a big footprint. Not really that important in the age of 2 gigs of memory and dual core cpus but I already have 4-5 other programs that must be run at all times in the background and would prefer not to have another. Especially when it leaves a 20+ meg footprint at times. <

>My last joystick was a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback pro that I owned about 5-6 years ago. I remember what a great joystick it was and it seems as though nothing has topped it since. My impression of the logitech joystick to my memory of the sidewinder is poor. After using the joystick for a week and finally at the end of my patience trying to calibrate it in Il-2 :FB I would rate it poorly.

GREAT JOYSTICK FOR GREAT PRICE!
Once again logitech has brought the best product that balances quility and price. I got this item last week and I was thrilled with the quility, looks, feel, and preformance of this joystick. I am right handed but working with the left hand with these isnt nearly as comfortable. Overall it is a great product however I think it should have more programmable buttons and more comfortable on the left hand.

Not worth the price...
I received this product for Christmas and was at first impressed, the overall make of the joystick is sturdy and ergonomic (though it wasn't really ergonomic for me, because I'm left-handed). Unfortunately, it was oversensitive, even when I went into Logitech's software to lower sensitivity. <
> <
>I could have lived with the sensitivity, since there are several third-party programs that help with Logitech's sensitivity and calibration, like DXTweak2. The only problem was that whenever I rebooted my computer the settings wouldn't register on the stick upon next play. So basically I could get my settings perfect for the game I'm playing but then as soon as I shut down the computer the next day I'd have to figure out those settings again. It was just way too much of a hassle. <

>Fed up, I ended up returning it to Comp USA and traded it in for a Saitek Cyborg Evo, which is about $30 cheaper then this stick and handles much better.
