Off centre Sidewinder joystick
Off centre Sidewinder joystick
Hi,
Im looking to buy a Sidewinder FF2 Joystick. In some photos i see the stick is off centre when disconnected. Is this normal for a stick in good condition?
Thanks, John

Re: Off centre Sidewinder joystick
Yes, the stick is free to move when power is down

Where to buy it? I need one too.
Re: Off centre Sidewinder joystick
Be careful to buy only version 2, with the USB connector.
If in Europe, try your local second-hand online shop : I got both mine from leboncoin.fr
One on Ebay in France :

A rather cheap one on the other side of the big pond :

Thank you very much for info.
Unfortunately problem is that i live at the end of the world. No one is sending items to Serbia, so i will stick to the mouse for some time till i find something here.
I wish i was born in Antarctica. Probably i would find that sidewinder easier there

Serbia is the same as posting to most other countries from the UK. Ask the people on Ebay, they probably will post.Zligor wrote: ↑Mon Dec 02, 2019 4:25 pmThank you very much for info.

Hi all,
I have a Sidewinder Precision 2 (usb only) but never get ffb. I have that setting selected in Condor but it doen't change anything. AM I missing something?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

Re: Off centre Sidewinder joystick
Hello,
since the most recent update of windows 10 my Microsoft sidewinder FFB 2 USB does not work anymore:
The stick gets forced to the center for a few seconds but gets 'soft' soon after.
1) Did anybody else observe this behaviour?
2)Is there a software to test the FFB-functionality?
Thanks,
Wolfgang

I have updated windows 10. I have noticed no change.

O.K.
I rolled back my most recent update - and now it is working again.
I guess I will have to double check.

It looks like I had a hardware problem with the photodiode detecting the user's hand.
I fixed it and now it works - also with the most recent update.
