Owned this logitech product for about 2 years. I would like to see the wireless version come out soon. Logitech is leading innovator so I expect it be wireless soon. Very easy to use and setup. Enough buttons to get you where you want to go. I would recommend this product.

I have that stick for more than half a year now, and it still works really well, after massive gaming.
-Installation of the product was really easy, and calibration went just fine. The stick works just fine. but that profiler is pretty unnecessary.
-The overall quality is good, though there is one place in the stick which can scratch you a little bit (maybe only in that specific copy). The numbering prints near the buttons are still exist, without wearing out even a bit, which is quite impressive.
-The first hours of aggressive gaming with it can leave your hand some pain (and even more if it's your first stick). From then, the stick is comfortable, and I felt no hand ache caused by the stick since then.
For my uses, the 7-12 buttons on the base and the throttle are quite useless, but I like them to be where they are :).
For my uses, the 7-12 buttons on the base and the throttle are quite useless, but I like them to be where they are :).
-For 6DoF games which I play (mostly descent series), the stick's features are excellent, and are much more fun than keyboard only. The twist handle is very good for 6DoF, but takes some training for using well. At the beginning, you may won't be able to control the twist handle, so you better turn it off until you can control the stick flawlessly without it. Than turn it on.
All at all, this stick is awesome for 6DoF, and I guess that it's good for more game genres.
I would recommend it.

I've been using this for about two weeks and find no faults with it that matter. It seems to be well made and it works great with FSX. If there is any fault with it at all, I'd say that it would be very useful if the tension of the stick could be adjusted. It sometimes "sticks" when trying to make fine adjustments in attitude. Still, very good value for the money in my opinion.

I purchased this Joystick for FSX, But I soon found myself using it for any flying game. It is very responsive and with the 12 or so buttons for anything it works great. I would recommend this to you.

On two different desktop PCs, I've had the problem with this joystick - when plugged in, it is not recognised, and other USB devices on the same controller become unrecognised.
I believe this to be some kind of strange power draw issue, and would return it if I had not assumed to begin with, that it was my own USB controller at fault. It is now way too late to return it, but I have only been able to use it a few times, when plugged into an external powered USB hub alone.

I bought the 3D Pro to replace my old Microsoft Sidewinder because my new system needed a USB joystick. I feel the 3 DPro is way too stiff for flight sims. The stick centers itself too hard so it takes too much effort to maintain stable control. I find myself constantly making opposite corrections because of the strong centering of the stick. My old Sidewinder is much smoother(but no USB). It would be nice if the tension was adjustable. Other than that, installation was a breeze and the stick has many features.

Great joystick! Had it for 6 years now and still functional like it was brand new. Quality is good. Dont know why other reviews had low quality ratings. Take care of it and it'll last a long time.

I bought this joystick about a year ago and I noticed after the first 5 months of standard use it started to pull right when I had it straight. I tried recalibrating it and it still pulled right. It wasn't so bad though so I lived with until about a month ago when it got so insane I couldn't fly anymore. So I purchased a saitek x52 flight system which is by far way better than the logitech. So in my opinion don't buy this buy a saitek. Ps. I am using a macbook pro with snow leopard with all updates.

I've used several Sticks over the years, but this is one of the best. Its got plenty of buttons so you can have all the important controls at your fingertips, no need to use the keyboard for anything that requires rapid response.
It also has a great feel. True, its useless to a lefty, but it feels great in the hand and completely natural, no awkward hand positions, and most the buttons are very easy to reach and use. (buttons 11 and 12 are a little bit of a stretch, but not too bad.
The only downside is its a bit fragile. "Handle with Care" is the best advice I have, toss it around too much and it dies.
Absolutely recommended

I used this JOYSTICK for over 10 years (off and on) before it bit the dust. Bought it back in 1999 and it finally died back in 2010

Great buy and well worth it. It is extremely responsive, comfortable, practical and really easy to set up. Everyone has had callibration issues but not me, this is perfect. The twist function is also very useful and a great feature of this joystick. The only downside is if you are a left hander. There are better flight sticks out there but for this price it is unbeatable.

I've flown Flight Simulator since the first version came out with stick figures for the apple ][ and with all kids of joy sticks, keyboards, even paddles.
I've used the Extreme 3D Pro for over 3 years... maybe quite a bit over 3 years. It is my favorite. I use it on MS Flight simulator x, now. It is heavy, and the rubber feet stick like glue to the desk. I don't have to hold the base with one hand while i maneuver with the other. The programmable buttons are great. you can set trim tabs (or anything else) to the 4 buttons on the joystick. Or on the 6 buttons on the stick to do most anything. The action of the stick is smooth, calibrate-able. and i like the fact that it twists and that the throttle on the joystick is an analog rotate-able lever.
In the last 6 months or so the twist axis of the joy stick (which would work the rudder of the plane) does not work predictably. sometimes the rudder flutters, other times it goes left but not right. The way i see it, I've gotten great use out of it, and I don't expect it to last forever. So, for $29, I'll just buy another one. It's still the best joystick for Flight Simulator.

This flight stick is awesome. I've had mine for a few years and it has NEVER failed me. It has plenty of buttons for all you button people, and that's the only reason why it has 4 stars in ease of use. I'm not a button person. I strongly recommend buying this.
I might go as far as saying I <3 it.

The joystick is awesome! It has security, unlike the force feedback ones. I like the color scheme: black and white, and also the buttons are so compact and close together so you can manage your throttle while moving and managing the plane. The rapid fire button makes shooting much more easier too!

I got this joystick as a X-mas gift for someone.
Long story short, the Z axis came messed up (turns to the left, and upon calibration turns to the right). seems to be a problem with construction of the handle; in which the spring or peice that holds the spring is loose, causing undesired sensitivity.

We went back to the store today and got another however this one is in even worse.
Going to return it and get a refund. Especialy after going online and finding so many people with the same issue.
