Some sad news
 

Not that big ... But my Microsoft force Feedback 2 died today (:
Sundenly i lost power on it , Then i reinstalled back the stick but my force feedback was to strong and i could not change it with the software ((

Stil after i disconected it it from pc and powernet it was stil on strong force feedback

So i wil need a nother joystick

Maybe i wil by a nother Microsoft Force feedback 2 , but i dont now here to look

or any other good stick with force feedback would do

money is no option for me ;)

But i also wanted to now wat are the other members here using for joystick and wat are the best ;)

Because i can hardly believe that the MS FFB2 is the only good stick out there

My MSFFB2 has been going strong for about 6 years and I also bought a back up off of ebay earlier on today "just in case".

Basically if it ever breaks I don't want a different joystick as this IMHO is still the best; some sticks may have more features but for sheer long life, ease of use and reliability I think you'll find that this stick is hard to beat.

I was using the MSFF and MSFF2. They were good sticks (and I still have them) but I switched to the CH Fighterstick and have loved it ever since. There is a rumble pad that you can put under your stick to give that FF feel, but it still will not give you that stick feel when you are near a stall...you know, when your stick starts to get all "floppy" when you loose airspeed. That is the one feature I really liked about the MSFF sticks.
The one thing I really like about the CH Fighterstick is how it fits my hand, and the many buttons it has (24). It is a good quality stick that I have been using for about 5 years, and still going strong, with no signs of wear.

I keep thinking about ordering one of these...

Gogamer still has some "new old stock" FF Sidewinders...

The only problem is they don't ship out of the US. I was hoping to buy one my self but I'm in Canada.

Quote from their site: GoGamer does not ship to International Destinations at this time. All orders placed on Friday with overnight shipping will be delivered on Monday. FedEx Saturday delivery is available.

that sucks... I guess you don't have any American friends(?)...then you could have it shipped to their house and then they ship it to you.

Sorry to hear of the death:(...I use the CH line and can highly recomend their products. You could if wanted to, buy a new un-used MSFFB on e-bay. What the heck, buy two:-P

Tip from a stickmodder: Buy another joystick and a USB-rumble-pad (ebay <5$), connect the pad to the base of the joystick and plug them both in. Forcefeedback-joystick complete. ;)

I searched and i can only find used one's :confused:
