Vintage Microsoft SideWinder (legacy Force Feedback Pro Joystick 



Aviation Exploration Education: Learn New Skills & Have Fun!!!


Vintage Collectable and Original from Microsoft:
The Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro was a legend in its time - set the benchmark in design and performance!
They launched with a price tag of around £120-130, so this was serious kit for enthusiasts!


Selling all my legacy and recent flight sim stuff to make room. Grab yourself some bargains!

It is used (lightly), in great condition, comes with a power supply cube but no original box 
manuals or software.

The  power supply is a UK type plug and provides 12V (1.3 A) AC power to the joystick.
The joystick has an internal fan to keep it cool.

The joystick connects to a game port through a 15-pin D-Sub (DB-15 connector).
These may resemble  
the old SoundBlaster cards, or similar.

To use it your computer should be a legacy system (Windows 95 era),  but may also 
run on Windows XP (Google it please).

Retested a few years ago and still gives an amazing feedback and response.
These were built to last!

But, don't take my word for it;  here is a quick review:

Finally, if you search online you'll find a lot about the new USB-Game Port controllers that are now
compatible with Microsoft proprietary implementation of the analogue signals, and Force Feedback.
If you were interested to go that route.

see example:

You'll get a generic box that includes
SideWinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick
Power mains Adaptor
No CDs or Drivers Discs, unfortunately but these could be downloaded if needed.

Will consider a small discount when purchasing any of the flight simulation software
packages listed seperately (and combine postage).
