Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick 963290 0403

Customer Reviews

Poor construction -- Bad software

2008-04-06
Summary: This joystick is junk. Spend a little more money and buy something better. Although it has a great feel, the hardware is of the lowest quality. They don't last and are constantly loosing calibration. Furthermore, the certain features like the throttle slider, never work properly (full throttle on the joystick doesn't make full throttle in the game). Also, the software is poor. Both the drivers and their task-tray application are sub-standard. Looks like Logitech outsourced everything about this joystick. Cheap junk!

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick. Easy to install and adjust to the my Flight Simulator soft wear. One problem I have is the pitch trim control which may be the soft wear or the joystick. The pitch trim is not real world.

Joy wiith joy stick

The joy stick, Logitech- Extreme 3D Pro, is a very good controller for the money. It functions well and does not slide around on the desk while you are operating it. A very good product.

I would rate this zero stars if I could.

I bought this joystick a few years ago (from Wal-Mart) and it was good for a while. I used it predominately for Battlefield:1942. Eventually it became so finicky it was unusable. Even with installing Logitech's crapware, I couldn't get the thing to stand still. I read somewhere that the rheostats that sense the movement are cheap pieces of crap, so I opened the stick up to check it out. Nothing I could easily repair.

At least the throttle still works...

The Great JoyStick!!!!!

I switched from the Sidewinder to this model because it has more buttons, you can spin it and it has a hat switch which comes in handy if your a real gamer.

Short Lifespan

Buy a Saitek. I have no had three Logitech Joysticks, two of them Extreme 3D's and all three have burnt out in no more than 6 months. Both times, the device will fail to be recognized in a fully functional usb port making the joystick useless.

I've had a Saitek now for over a year and have had not a single issue with it.

Avoid these unless you're looking to buy another one in 6 months. Along with the USB issues, this stick becomes loose and drifts after minimal use. If you're a heavy Flight Sim junky, this stick is poor quality. Recommend you spend the 100 bucks on a better stick as you'll be spending that much anyway to replace this stick.

A good Joystick

[[ASIN:B00009OY9U Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Joystick (963290-0403)]
I have had the stick about a week now and am very happy with it. Though I do have to learn not to over control in FS9 especially when flying the Extra 300 wow that thing's quick to pitch or roll. All in all though once I turned down the sensitivity I am able to control and land easily in all but the Extra and I am sure that is I not the joystick. The Throttle is better than any other joystick I have had since starting flight simming back with FS98 I would also like to mention that my computer is older and its slower frame rates effect how fast the joystick reacts and makes it easy to over control the airplanes.

Mac

Junk!

2008-04-08
I bought this joy stick to use with X-Plane on my macbook pro. There is nothing in the box that talks about mac although on the outside of the box it say mac. The included software is for windows only. Logitech web site says they do not support mac but this item works with the mac. There are no instructions in the box or on the web site for the mac other than to say something like plug and play. For someone (like me) that is not familiar with gaming and joy sticks this product is lacking and appears to be junk. I see that another reviewer is using it on a mac without problems so I guess it will work.
