In my opinion, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro joystick is best. Three reasons: It is very responsive based on your requirements. It is very easy to use and all the controls are where you would expect them to be. And, since I use the flight simulation as a part of my relaxing routine, it is nice to have a piece of equipment that I trust and enjoy.

Works for me! I use it with a ThrustMaster X-Fighter. Edit (May 2015): However, because OS X provides no calibrator, any joystick becomes useless unless you virtualize Windows/Linux (which have calibrators) with something like Parallels/VMWare Fusion. If only the Rockfire unit came with installable drivers containing a calibrator like the Xbox 360 controller does. Unfortunately, they have not been maintaining/supporting the product at all.

I have one with the RED trigger button and one with a gray trigger button. So I don't know which is the latest version. It is my understanding that Microsoft quit making joysticks several years ago. I also have 2 THRUSTMASTER T.1600M joysticks and they are better than my Microsoft FORCE FEEDBACK 2 joysticks in my opinion. Although I love the Microsoft joysticks. The THRUSTMASTER T.1600M joysticks do not require a separate power cord or installation CD. And they work really great. Best of luck.

Tested on Windows 8.0 and 8.1 Works Fine with Analog Gravis Joystick.Used Instructions at http://www.wikihow.com/Set-Up-USB-Game-Controllers-on-Windows-8

Yes it works perfectly. I've used it with flight simulator X and have had no problems. If you do happen to have any issues just calibrate the joystick when you plug it in, and that's it. I'm not sure how it compares to Windows 7 because I didn't use FSX with that operating system.

It is designed for Win 8 with limited use in Win 7. Stick with a mouse or trackball.

It depends on what you are using for motion control. Most people who run Windows use Mach3, and that only supports parallel ports for direct control in 32-bit versions of Windows. There are a lot of other options, however. I'm using an Arduino running Grbl as the controller, and that allows me to run pretty much any operating system that supports a serial or USB port.

Sure, all joysticks can be used as mouse device on Windows platform, this can be made with third-party software such as JoyToKey of Joystick-To-Mouse. Enjoy!

Windows 7 does NOT like the device driver for that game. CFS 2 and 3 work under Win 7 and the joystick works FINE for them and all other games I have - including the Battlefield series including 3 and 4, but the first CFS game does NOT work with that joystick. I have searched for a solution but they are complicated and do not seem to work.

Yes. Running Windows 7, Task bar > Little triangle (show hidden icons) > Trackball Works. You can re-orient the left/right/click any way you'd like.

The Microsoft Force Feedback uses additional Signals not found on standard Joysticks.So the Answer is No.

Works fine on Windows 7 64 bit, just make sure you download the newest driver from Creative.com

The best thing to use is an xbox 360 controller like i did. Just make you use a controller that support windows. (It must have a bluetooth reciver. It includes with the controller)

You can install a driver on Mayflash's website, and the controllers will show up in Windows Devices. So far, I've used it with Dolphin and some Steam games have been able to utilize it.

Sorry I use it on Windows 7. It sometimes stalls but otherwise I really like the mouse. Only one of its kind that I have found.

This deviceoes not require a 'controller' - its support is builtin to Windows 7 and up; and probably also in XP. My machine recognized it w/o anything else.
