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
Can't sing praises enough about it.

Great Purchase
Date:July 1, 2011
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.

great flexibility, best out there
Date:February 25, 2011
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.

AWESOME
Date:January 18, 2011
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!

disapointed
Date:December 26, 2010
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.

Awesome JoyStick (Even with the setback) Easy Fix!
Date:November 24, 2010
Have had this for almost 4 years but didn't use it much till lately due to the handle twist constantly going to the right, so after a few days talking with support I opted to just take apart the handle and figure out what was causing it to always turn to the right.
I found out that the sensor on the center rode in the handle was being forced to the right and was not in its holding position, so I placed it back and put the sensors wires behind the screw mount so that the other wires wouldn't force it to turn in either direction.
Then I put the handle back together which wasn't to difficult ( a little scotch tape on the (outside) side trigger to hold it in place) and made sure every thing was lined up etc (longest part really) and once it was all back together it was working great!
Note: I was doing all this as it was actually plugged in since all I was doing was taking the handle apart it allowed me to run the calibration app while I did it so I knew it was dead center when I was done.
Now this Joystick works great in all the games I use it in, would buy again even if I did run into that issue again as it was an easy fix.

Very good joystick
Date:November 22, 2010
This was a very good joystick. I absolutely love it. I got this joystick about 3 years ago, together with a copy of FSX. The controls were amazing and the throttle adjustment was great. Good joystick, but it had some issues connecting with vista. Build quality was good, but it couldd be better.

Very Nice so Far--Just bought HAVE IDEAS FOR ADJST
Date:October 25, 2010
I just bought this product and if you set the "dead zone" to like, 10 percent or so, then you won't have the twisting problems. Just edit the axis for each of the axis things.
To some degree, you can correct for things. Using the dead zone, you can keep a neutral position when you intend to. Also, you can program each button to any key using the "assign command" function.
"assign keystroke" does NOT work for some reason, don't bother with it. otherwise, great program thus far.
With the throttle, if you wish to use it as an extra button, just set it "throttle on-nothing" "throttle off-your choice". That way you don't have this weird glitching thing if you bind it to a command key.... haha. Then u just switch it on and off to activate that spell/ability.
works great for WOW

Great for everone
Date:October 12, 2010
I purchased the controler and had brought it for Microsoft Flight Simulator FSX. It works great I recently purchase the H.A.W.X game and wow this controler is the best . I have the Saitek 52 and the xbox controlers , they are hard to use and more complicated when playing the game. SO the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is the best. I have not had any of the problems that others have had. I think the best answer to those folks would be did you use the disk to program your computer and then did you sit it up like it recomends I cant figure out what went wrong with yours. Thanks Mark

Good joystick...love the programmability
Date:September 29, 2010
I just got this joystick, largely to play some old Windows/DOS games on my PC, though DosBox. I was used to the CH Flightstick, but I needed a new USB-based stick.
This fit perfectly. The feel is good, plenty of buttons, and good response in X/Y/twist. Minor gripes: The 5/6 buttons are a little hard to reach; The hat could be a little lower and larger; would like one more button on the shaft of the stick for secondary firing.
But the best element is the programmability. Not just any button to any key, but the "zone" feature. This works great for mapping both slow/fast strafe control to the twist, for example.

extreme 3d pro won't fly in Bad company 2
Date:June 27, 2010
So happily unwrapped the new joy stick and did an install. But will it fly in Bad Company 2? Throttle is not recognized or at least nothing hapens when used in the game or even after I set W and S for it. Twist is 180 out.
And the Freedom 2.4 did such a good job in BF2...
Now I know why the joystick is not shown in the list of stuff that works so well with BC2

EXTREME 3D PRO ROCKS
Date:June 4, 2010
While I can see why some gamers would have issues with this product, in the flight simulator arena it's definitely in the top 10. Clearly it is intended as a flight control joystick and works perfectly in games such as Aces High ll as well as Microsoft Flight Simulator (3 to date).
If quality at a economical price is what you're looking for, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is what you need!

Someone
Good Buy
Date:April 7, 2010
This is a good joystick. When I fly in GTA San Andreas, I find that the twist handle does not respond however the tophat is effectively a joystick on a joystick. The top hat is more uncontrollable but more responsive. I also find that my hand naturally causes the twist handle to twist as I turn the aircraft which is nice because it combines bank and yaw just as if you were flying a real plane, despite the fact that the twist does respond for that game (I just noticed that my hand does that, so I'm commenting that it is good if I were able to actualy apply it). I've only had it for less than a month but it seems like a really good buy already. I made a Logitech Attack 3 (which everyone complains about) last for at least 3 years so I'm hoping to get much more life out of this joystick.

Good stick, if you can forget the twist problem
Date:March 25, 2010
My Extreme 3D Pro has the twist issue like the other reviewers. It completely prevents me from playing IL-2, Battlefield 2, and any other game that may use the twist function. I would not recommend this joystick to anyone. I found out the hard way.

Good stick, needs a bit of work on quality
Date:March 23, 2010
This is my fifth Extreme 3D Pro; obviously I find them better overall than the competition. The fit and feel of the stick is excellent. I use it mainly for shooters (using a trackball for a mouse) so I'm not the average bear. The first lasted about eight months, the second was mostly DOA and was immediately returned, and the third lasted perhaps six or eight months. The fourth I bought from Best Buy with the two year extended warranty, so of course it lasted just over two years! The metal strip activating the trigger cherry switch finally bent down from use; the stick would no longer fire reliably or quickly. I disassembled it and bent the strip back in place, which got me another month or so, but as the trigger problem was worsening and it usually took six or seven tries plus a big dead zone to get usable calibration I broke down and replaced it.
Pros: Excellent feel, ergonomics and performance.
Generally good software. The global setting makes most non-joystick games (such as shooters) playable with the joystick and trackball.
Generally good software. The global setting makes most non-joystick games (such as shooters) playable with the joystick and trackball.
Cons: Loses its calibration (sometimes requiring multiple unplugs and replugs to get a usable signal).
No trims for pots to overcome above.
No pinkie button (I miss it from the old MadCatz Panther XL.)
Software is not so great; need an easy way to start a new profile from an existing profile, as many of the commands are the same or similar and thus this would be a great time saver.

Other thoughts: Overall I think a good buy. I've not yet found a stick I liked better overall - the Panther XL felt better and had a pinkie button, but was discontinued and had no twist so not worth modding with modern parts. Competing brands don't feel as comfortable to me, so as long as I can get eight months or more out of them I'll stick with this stick and be a happy camper.

Great But....
Date:March 12, 2010
The joystick was really great but if you twist the joystick in a overly "turn" manner it will gradually start turning bit by bit to that side.
