Esse modelo de joystick existe há anos, e essa versão mais recente mantém as qualidades do produto original.

I tested it with Windows 11, works plug and play, was able to play Microsoft Flight Sim 40th blah blah without any setup needed.The downloadable Logitech software of course doesn't work with Windows 11, and corrupted some drivers when I tested. This was fixable by uninstalling the software and devices/drivers from Device Manager.It also worked in Retrowave; so I would assume it will work in games with good joystick support, but don't expect to be able to configure the buttons to work in other ways.Overall good enough for the price.

Logitech is always a good choice for joysticks I've been playing sims for years and this one is pretty good. Its durable and ever key bind i have set works flawlessly. I have put in a solid 10-15 hours on DCS with it and the only noticeable flaw is a slight drift in the yawing which can be a little annoying when you're trying to level fly and pay attention to HUDs. That being said, its a great unit and I definitely recommend.

I did not expect much, but it actually has been a surprisingly good value. It feels good, and sturdy, and has not had any issues. Again, this joystick really is a good value. There was no stick drift, and it felt solid. I upgraded to a HOTAS Thrustmaster for more buttons and a separate throttle, and the stick motion and resistance feels similar. I am keeping the Logitech as a back-up, which I can trust will not disappoint if I need it.

Mein oller 20 jähriger Extreme 3D Pro Joystick hatte schon einige Macken und es war Zeit für eine Erneuerung. Mein neuer Extreme 3D Pro Joystick läuft wie am Schnürchen ohne Fisimatenten und Sperenzchen.Kaum zu glauben, dass so ein komplexes Teil zu diesem Preis zu bekommen ist, auch weil ich meinen Extreme 3D Pro Joystick in Einzelteile zerlegt habe, neu gelötet und wieder zusammen geschraubt habe.

Seems to be fairly well made and happy with it so far for playing ED. Excellent value as it was bought at a discounted price.

This is one of those products that is so great, you feel compelled to leave a review. I haven't owned a joystick for a very long time, since the 90s actually. I had one back then for playing the classic 6 degree of freedom games like Descent 1 and Descent 2. Skip ahead 25 years-- I just got a gaming PC and came to find out that the classic descents (with improved gameplay and graphics) still exist, as well as their long-awaited successor, Overload. This joystick is perfect for those games, and it's bringing back all the nostalgia from long ago.The other game I play this with is Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). Using the joystick and keyboard alone no doubt is as fancy as some of the huge cockpits designed specifically for flight simulator games, but the simplicity of just having a joystick that works is great. You can control everything with this joystick in Microsoft Flight Simulator and it works great.Other things:Quality is very high. Button layout is intuitive and there are plenty of them. Accuracy of sensors inside the joystick feels spot on. Windows 10 recognized it immediately, as well as the games that I use it for.Con: On occasion when playing descent, the joystick will move on me. It is weighted well, but could be slightly heavier. I'm probably cranking on it more in descent that most people will for most games.Overall, besides making it slightly heavier, I'm not really sure what I'd change. It's a workhorse of a joystick that I expect to last for years. Price was not bad either, especially compared to other options.

For starters, it's cheap, functional, and durable enough, but don't expect it to be a HOTAS.I would say that anyone who is interested in using a joystick for a game like war thunder should buy this stick. To understand what I'm trying to say please realize that this is coming from someone who bought this stick for the explicit reason of starting out on a joystick. It has almost been a year since I bought it, and I want to discuss using joysticks versus the mouse before I discuss this one model.Anyone who is buying a joystick for the first time needs to understand the very different world they are entering when they do so. I don't want anyone being deceived; it is much more difficult to use a joystick than a mouse. The joystick does give you more authority over the aircraft than mouse and keyboard, which can be an obvious advantage. However, the mouse and keyboard allows you to focus on simply pointing the aircraft where you want to go and employing the weapons while the computer optimizes the control inputs. With the joystick you are the one that eases the aircraft into and out of the turn; you set the banking of the aircraft. This is not as easy as it seems at first. When you first start, your brain will want to think that all you have to do to bank the aircraft ten degrees is to hold the stick at a ten degree angle. The next thing you know the aircraft is upside down because you forgot to return the stick to neutral. Like I said, it’s a very different experience and it requires a bit of a learning curve. In fact, most people stick to flying with the mouse and keyboard because of the difficulty of transitioning, and the time it can take to start getting kills with the joystick (I still do better with the mouse than the joystick).Now, in regards to this particular product, Logitech has a reputation with me of making virtually indestructible computer peripherals. Okay, so they’re made of flimsy plastics. But they have still survived many drops and some rough handling from yours truly. Additionally I would say that the price is right for something you might buy, use a couple of times, and then never touch again. And the product gives you everything you need in order to have full authority over your aircraft. This way you can at least make an informed decision whether or not you want to use a joystick; then you can upgrade to a more expensive HOTAS system if you so choose.Durability is apparently a hit or miss proposition. I have seen many reviews saying that the neutral position will shift over time. I have not seen this. The only problem that I have seen so far is that the hat switch was unusable on Microsoft Flight. This scared me at first, but when I got the joystick to work on War Thunder (not the easiest thing to do), the hat switch worked fine.The only real gripes I have with the Extreme 3D Pro are that it isn’t a HOTAS nor will it ever be one, and that the stick is a little rough when switching roll or pitch direction. This last complaint is commonly mentioned in the reviews of every joystick I looked at below 100 dollars. This is only a problem when making very intricate maneuvers such as when dog fighting. In fact it only started to become a problem for me when I was trying to fly in War Thunder’s realistic mode, and it became a substantial issue when I tried simulator mode.CONCLUSION: this is not a stick for the simulator enthusiast. This is a starter stick, something you can buy without guilt if you decide you don’t enjoy flying with a joystick. And for those who do enjoy flying with joysticks, it is something that can be used until they can get a more complex system. This is after all nothing but a joystick with throttle axis and a few buttons. Those who like joysticks will eventually want more buttons and a better throttle, but those cost money and money causes guilt if you’re not among the joystick enthusiasts.
