Curious posting. Where do you buy a new Sidewinder FF2?
They haven't made them in about 10 years AFAIK.

I have one, and I've held onto and maintained it carefully all these years.

It would be indeed good news, if MSFT was making it again.

I have a CH Products package including the programmable keyboard. Never a problem, works great.
Still I love the SWFF2, because the pedals can be a nuisance. Just twisting the stick for rudder does make things easier.
You don't have the feel or immersion of flying, but that isn't that big a deal when the ole lady reminds you to quit... dinner is on the table.
