Rating: - Sidewinder No Longer Supported by Microsoft
I bought this thinking that it was a Microsoft product and that I would have no problems with operating system compatibility for that reason.

Rating: - Still truckin
I've had this joystick for oh 4 years perhaps, and it still runs. Considering microsoft stopped supporting this stick thats pretty good, i've used this in all the battlefield games, planetside, and with a little setup you'll be gtg. on a side note this is another of my belated reviews and this item is really hard to come by if you can.
