Re: logitech extreme 3d pro

I have this joystick, and yes it is ok, but after only 75hours of use its started to 'rattle', it made from crappy plastic so I don't think it will last much longer. For £20 I can't complain but if you have more money I would advise getting a better joystick. Dont get wireless as a few of my friends have found out, they get in a plane take off and then the batteries run out!!! LMAO!

Re: logitech extreme 3d pro

I have 1 & I like it, it has a nice stiff feel & I like the button layout.
Never had a prob with it losing calibration, had my last stick over 5 years. Have a freind who is big and fat (pushes 300 lbs) he goes through joysticks like crazy, they last only 3 months with him.

He snaps them off, crushes them & according to him they just fall apart.

It was an excellent stick, but being left handed, I had trouble with it. I had to learn how to game with my right hand. The 3d pro was designed with right handed people in mind, which effectively screws 10% of the population over, because they're left handed!

go southpaws!

After a while the stick gets inaccurate, it's not made well in the inside. But it's an alright thing. I suggest the Saitek joystick, for example the Cyborg EVO. That's a lot more descent.

Not to sound like an ass, but you dot know that some joysticks can be configure for left handed people. so spend and extra 20 dollars and buy one can be configure for left hand use my friend

I know that, but I didn't have a choice in what kind of joystick I got. I've just adapted to it. No big deal.

Re: logitech extreme 3d pro

Pros:

The stick has great feel and response.

Cons:

Cheaply made.
Will lose calibrations regularly.
No ability to create a dead zone to counteract the calibration issues.
On one stick my fire buttons stopped working.

P.S. I've owned three of these and three 2.4 cordless.

Re: logitech extreme 3d pro

The Joystick is amazing, I originally bought it for flying in BFV and I haven't stopped using it yet. It's an awesome joystick for flying jets in BF2 but not the greatest for Heli's because it's just a little too sensitive. I highly recommend this joystick. Here is how to fix the calibration issue that can occur after prelonged use. I didn't know how to fix the calibration issue before so the one I have now is my 5th extreme 3d pro joystick (I purchased 3 year over the counter warranty).

I have logitech extreme 3d pro. It is a great joystick but occasionally the calibration the joystick calibration will drift. To recalibrate, unplug the USB then move the joystick in circles and press some buttons for 30sec (discharges sensors). Then plug in and check the joystick properties (control panel) to see that the joystick is centered. If not, repeat. This happens to me every couple months of heavy use.

Re: logitech extreme 3d pro

well, i found the stick for 20 bucks, which doesnt seem so bad, cuz i think it retails for around 30-40.

im not too worried about it getting worn out on me, because i dont really fly much as it is. main reason is because i suck at it with a keyboard, so its just a waste for me to use planes.
