An overall GREAT Joystick for any Gamer!

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
Review: This was my first time using a digital joystick and, I?ll tell you, the experience went quite well. The reason I had bought it was basically because I needed a joystick that could be used harshly with any game and I had heard that this was the best...

3D gamers joystick of choice

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2000
Review: My dad recently got 2 Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro's for the price of one, and I was lucky enough to get the one he didn't use. I normally would have thought a joystick wasn't really any good for playing games, but I was seriously wrong...

Why did I wait so long to buy a great joystick?

Date of Review:  Dec 14, 1999
Review: The Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro brings a whole new dimension to flying games. I purchased this joystick so I could play Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator (which I also highly recommend! Maybe I'll write a review later.) I also use it for...

Comfortable and Accurate, You Can't Go Wrong With It

Date of Review:  Jul 16, 2000
The Bottom Line: A great stick that I would recommend to anyone looking for a high end joystick.
Review: When many people think about Microsoft, they cringe as images of Illegal Operations and General Protection Faults come to mind, as well as the recent anti-trust lawsuit. Many people out there believe that all Microsoft Products are evil, and refuse...

Simply sweet...

Date of Review:  May 28, 2000
Review: To get the best use of this, you'll need to connect it to your USB port, and if you don't have a USB port, get one... Hot-swappable capability simply rules.

Optical tracking = no calibration = quick game starts. I always hated having to...

Well done, Microsoft. (god did I just say that?)

Date of Review:  Jun 8, 2001
The Bottom Line: The Sidewinder Pro is comfortable, accurate, smooth, driftless, and full featured; a true improvement to any flight game.
Review: I hate Microsoft. I hate their operating systems, I hate (most) of their programs, and I hate their technical support. They don't think through their documentation, they make sure that everything that works well must be customized to do so and that...

precision pro II is definately not second!

Date of Review:  Oct 26, 2000
Review: I've used standard joysticks always paying as little as possible for what I could get. Why? well, once I did pay almost $80 for a WingMan Extreme and it broke within the first two months.... I promised never to pay that much again. Well, technology...

Precision Pro? Well, within a hundred pixels or so.

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2002
The Bottom Line: A great stick, and excellent value for the price--when it works.
Review: I purchased the Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro because of its $59.99 price tag at CompUSA, and my need for a new joystick. My old Gravis Blackhawk was still reliable, but I needed something more complex for the new wonder that is Jane's F/A-18...

One of the best joysticks ever.

Date of Review:  May 29, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you wan't to get the most kills and action out of a game, then you gotta try this stick out. Kiss those wimpy sticks goodbye.
Review: I need a joystick at my computer at my dad?s house for playing some of my favorite games, so I use his Microsoft Precision Pro. This joystick is great for all the buttons and features it has. I really enjoy this joystick.

Ergonomically...
