Logitech WingMan Extreme Digital 3D - Joystick - 7 button(s)

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Peripherals and Accessories
from: Logitech


I have had this for several years, and it hasn't let me down. Performance is good, though it does struggle with very fine movements (a few mms either way). It also has an issue holding it's centre point, but that's probably more to do with an attempt to clean it that went wrong. I has only one breakdown, and this is recent, the handle twist constantly lurches to the right, but this took at least a few years to develop, so it's a very strong Joystick. Other than that, performance is extremely good, buttons work fine, easy to reach and very comfortable. I would recommend using sticky pads to fix it to the desk, as it has lifted a little (though it was taking some really powerful shoves to the side so it's probably just me).

Atomic Accessories AG-E Universal Steering Wheel (PC/PS2/PS3/Xbox 360)

This is quite possibly the worst product I have used on the PS3. The build quality is quite good but it just doesn't work. In dirt nothing happens until the wheel is turned almost to full lock and then the game responds by turning to full lock. It is like an on/off switch. And there is no way of turning off force feedback. I can only hope that this works better on the other supported platforms but it is completely useless on the PS3. Also the clamping system is very badly thought out. The gear stick / handbrake can only be clamped if it is overhanging the table edge by six inches and the unit I received only had one clamp anyway

WingMan Gamepad Extreme

Childrens Toy Shop > Video Games > Peripherals and Accessories
from: Logitech


This Gamepad represents good quality and feel, though it could've done with a more rubberised texture to the handles. The overall G/play is fine,though Calibration and Tilt Play aren't a doddle to use. Internet update for Game Profiles is a good touch,as is both USB and S/card connections. Good overall value.

SideWinder Dual Strike

I found this device to be quite fun to use as an alternative to the standard mouse & keyboard combination in FPS games, after some time to learn the twisting motion to turn and some customising the sensitivity it really did draw you into the game. But this was the start of the problems I had with it, the speed of turn could never be set high enough in games, you tended to turn slowly unless you had it set at full sensistivity and that wasn't ideal either.

After using the joystick in playing Tony Hawk where the sliding D-pad was put through strenuous use - it sheared clear off, revealing the very thin piece of central plastic that had been holding the rather large disc-like D-pad. Needless to say, since this happened within 7-days ... Read More:
