This is
Microsoft's foray into the
arena of
gaming hardware, since they can't make any good
software.
Amazingly, the Microsoft Sidewiner series of joysticks and gamepads are actually quite good. I used to own a Sidewinder Pro at home and it is an excellent controller for sims. I just bought the basic Sidewinder yesterday for $15 and it also functions quite well. I have also heard good things about the gamepads.
Possibly the only good product Microsoft made or ever will make. And it isn't even software. Figures.
