The first thing you notice about this joystick is the size and weight of the base. You don't need to worry about the joystick sliding around on the desk: it's not going anywhere, so you can concentrate on controlling your plane. Like other recent joysicks, this one has rudder control built in with a twist action, so you don't need foot controls - it feels quite natural to turn this way. The joystick has a nice feel to it, although it's hard plastic with a bit of a seam running down front and back. It's sculpted so it can only be used right-handed, with a handrest at the base of the joystick and a thumb button near the top. The joystick springs back to the center position if you let go,so it's easy (perhaps too easy) to return to level flight.In addition to the thumb button there are four buttons on top of the joystick and an 8-way directional "hat switch" on top, as well as a trigger button.on the base are the throttle, which can be operated by the thumb of your left hand, and six more buttons round the left side of the base. The USB cable is a decent length.In Microsoft Flight Simulator X, which I use on Windows 8.1 64-bit despite some known stability issues, the buttons on the top are set by default to adjust trim and flaps, and the hat is used (as is conventional) to look around. If you download Logitech's driver software (its optional: you don't get any software provided in the retail box), you can reassign buttons to different tasks using the "Profiler" program. This scans for compatible programs, or you can choose an executable file and create a profile against that executable with your own selection of button assignments. Setting a profile up from scratch is tedious: you need to record keystrokes then assign them to a button. I experimented unsuccessfully getting the Joystick working with Steam games.Game support is an issue with this and other joysticks. While flight simulators and flight games are likely to support joystick input, not many other games do. It would be interesting using a joystick rather than the traditional WASD buttons to move about in many games; sadly, it doesn't work.Using a joystick is the only proper way to experience flight games. There are a couple of games coming soon (Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen) that I very much hope will come with support for joysticks like this. Fingers crossed!

Although I don't play a great deal of flight sims nowadays (I used to, but I don't have as much time or inclination anymore), I wanted to try out a new stick for occasional use in games such as Battlefield 4 as my Microsoft Precision Pro 2 is getting a little elderly now.The Extreme 3D Pro (now there's a name it can't possibly live up to, although the device is in 3D to be fair) is at the more cost-conscious end of the market, but for all that it seems to be solidly built. There's a reasonable amount of weight to it and the stick is stable and has a fair amount of grip when sat on my desk. I'm sure strenuous handling could see it move,but generally it's solid and doesn't slip.At first I wasn't a fan of the range of motion in the stick itself as it is very tight, but I quickly got used to it. The throttle switch is also tight enough and just about sits next to your left hand thumb for ease of use. The buttons on the base are pretty clunky but there are six of them, making the controls reasonably customisable.The buttons on top of the stick are OK, there are four in total - plus a hat switch - and they are not brilliantly laid out but it works. The trigger is responsive and there is a thumb button. I recommend being careful what you assign to that though, as it is very easy to press down on it during the heat of battle.Setting up the joystick was very simple, I just plugged it into a USB port and that was it. I already have the Logitech Gaming Software installed for my mouse, so not sure if that helped the process, but strictly speaking the software doesn't cater for the Extreme 3D Pro (you can't configure it in there) so probably not.Overall control of the stick is responsive and the buttons work well. It's nicely constructed and feels solid enough. At the price I wouldn't say its necessarily cheap but I think it's reasonable value, particularly if you are looking to use it in less serious flight sims.

I used to play a hell of a lot of flight simulators or military aviation simulator's... never a game though... literally some people are that specific in these communities. Now I play the occasional game where flying takes place, battlefield being a prime example and others such as War Thunder which is (at the moment) completely aviation orientated has built in support for the extreme 3d pro - probably my primary reason for buying this. I've had other sticks in the past (cheaper ones) and it's refreshing to have a nicely weighted stick, you'd be hard pushed on a decent surface to make such violent aerobatic moves that lead to the stick itself slipping.The build quality is something previous reviewers have been conflicted on,personally I find it OK, not exceptional, however your not paying the price that would guarantee exceptional quality. it's sturdy and will take what it's designed for. The cable is a nice decent length and the buttons are solid. As for playability it works a dream in my War Thunder matches and allows me the freedom to customise the joysticks buttons to my play style. Why not the full 5 stars? Probably as another reviewer stated, it's just not up-to the extremely high standard I've come to expect with Logitech goods, but it's not far short though. Me just being picky.I'd definitely recommend to others who want it for the same purpose as me. If you are going to be committing more time and effort to flight simulators you'll probably have already looked at better sticks and the only reason your here is preventing a hemorrhage to the wallet.

For almost 10 years now, iv'e found that when it comes to flight simulation joysticks, Logitech & their Wingman style design is the one i'm most comfortable with to date. Here is my experience with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro:What to like:+ Solid base, so the entire product is harder to move when you get carried away with tight turns.+ Nicely balanced, responsive, smooth stick movement for precise control.+ Well positioned buttons on the stick for simplistic flying & firing of primary/secondary weapons.+ Intuitive lever for setting exact throttle amounts on the fly.+ Sturdy build quality.Considerations:- Iv'e had a few,they usually last me around 2 years or so of heavy usage.- Occasionally difficult to find & for a reasonable price (Around the £35 mark is fair IMO).Tips: It will need calibrating to start, and every so often there after if it isn't staying central.To calibrate in Windows 7, with it plugged in. Go into control panel > hardware & sound > devices & printers > right click the controller picture with the name of the device > game controller settings > properties > settings tab & click on calibrate and follow the instructions (click 'apply' before you leave the screen all together).In conclusion, in keeping with the design that made me love the Logitech Wingman series, the Logitech 3D PRO is a fine, simplistic joystick for flight simulation beginners or those that need nothing more. Highly recommended.

I was shopping around for HOTAS setups following the release of FS2020 and Squadrons, and didn't really fancy dropping stupid money on something that'd ultimately be a novelty for a couple of games. I ended up settling on this rather than something with a separate throttle honestly due to availability but I am so happy it ended up going this way. This feels absolutely briliant- with the gently angled stick that is incredibly comfortable to hold. It supports rotating the stick for an additional axis of control. The thumb throttle lever is great. The plethora of buttons on the stick itself are ideal for both Squadrons and FS2020, with an additional 6 buttons on the base of the unit.I didn't have to manually install any drivers or utilities under Windows 10 and the device was immediately recognised in both games mentioned. In Squadrons it can even navigate all menus and has correct button prompts out-of-the-box.The only thing that could make this better would be a few more buttons / switches. Also the directional hat switch on the top of the stick, while responsive, feels a little mushy, so it's not always clear through feel alone that you've activated it. Not something I actually notice when I have feedback of the button press in-game though.Final words: if you're currently looking for a flight stick / cheap HOTAS I can strongly recommend this!

I bought this joystick as a replacement of my old logitech attack 3 joystick and after using it a bit I wished I had upgraded earlier.As expected from logitech, the Extreme 3D Pro offers excellent build quality and value for money. Compared to the quality of other joysticks in this price range I can't understand why you would buy anything else. The joystick offers eleven programmable buttons as well as a trigger, hat stick and throttle control. All the buttons very really solid and the sheer number of them means you can keep your hand near the joystick as opposed to the keyboard for longer. The throttle feels really nice and has a large flap that makes it easier to make more precise movements.The stick itself feels very expensive and works perfectly in games. I know lots of people aren't keen on the yaw function being incorporated into joysticks and I was initially sceptical myself, however I have found it to be very useful and easy to use. Beneath all the buttons the joystick has a very large and heavy base making it very stable. The only downside is that it's only really practical for right handed users so left handed people are probably better off opting for an ambidextrous joystick.Overall, I couldn't recommend this joystick enough and would highly advise choosing it over other models in a similar price range.

So I waited until I'd gotten some use out of this item before posting my review, and after some time with it really enjoy it.Good points:It's comfortable, with the support at the base really well shaped for the base of your hand. The contols are sensitive, the sprung weight of the joystick itself is perfect. With 12 clearly numbered buttons it makes for easy mapping to games. The throttle is the right size to be used either between thumb and finger, or purely thumb with the other fingers on the buttons.The unit is light weight, but secure - doesn't tip when used unless you really go for it against the stop.Bad bits:The twist input spring has a slight slack zone that allows it to rest maybe 1mm twisted right,just enough for the input to be recognised.The throttle doesn't have a click or a mark at the middle, which would be nice for games like Elite Dangerous where full down is reverse thrust.A few more buttons would be nice.For me with short thumbs, reading the upper buttons by the hat is a SLIGHT stretch.Very, very good value for money with only a few slight niggles, but the pros easily make up for the very slight negatives - if you can call them that.

For years I've had a Microsoft Sidewinder joystick for my flight sims and that has been pretty good. It was my go to joystick for all flight sims and when Microsoft discontinued the sidewinder range I didn't think I'd ever find as good a joystick.However this joystick just takes it to a new level. It is so well laid out and very similar to the sidewinders, the only big difference is there is even more controller - the joystick has this twist control which the sidewinder never had. It's so handy for changing the yaw on the aircraft and keeping them on the runway.I've given this controller 5 stars in all categories except for the "for beginners" category - it is an extremely complex joystick with a lot of advanced controls on it which may not be suitable for beginners,but when you actually start using this joystick and get used to what all the complex controls do you find it's so much more easier to fly planes. I use it at present in X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 11 even recognises the joystick and draws a 3d picure of it on screen in the controller setting menu so you can see what all the different controls do when setting it up.

Please bear in mind...I have used this thing for 100+ hours of Elite Dangerous but I have never used any other type of flight-stick.Pro's-All the buttons and triggers feel good and there is a handy "mini D-Pad" on top on the stick.-It's made of plastic but it has a wide base and it's fairly sturdy. It feels like a more expensive product than it is.-The stick can be "twisted" left to right to control Yaw.-You can use any of the 6 buttons at the side as modifiers giving you crazy amounts of binding options.Con's-From time to time the stick doesn't always return to neutral meaning you drift a little to one side.(Fixed by adding generous dead-zones in-game,which also makes the controls feel a bit less responsive)-The "throttle" lever works fine but it feels cheaper than the rest of the stick.-The plastic ridge you rest your hand on while flying does the job, but can get sore for long play sessions.SummaryIf you want to try playing games with a flight-stick, especially Elite Dangerous, without breaking the bank...This is probably the one you should buy.

I had one of these a few years back and it was one of my first USB joysticks.It was used primarily with Microsoft Flight Simulator (various versions FSX certainly, maybe going as far back as FS2000) and also combat sims such as Janes USAF, Eurofighter Typhoon and Elite Dangerous. It was also used in some non flight games as an alternative to a mouse.I was very happy with it overall, good amount of features for the price, decent build quality and reasonable feel. If you want something simple for a joystick/keyboard combo then you shouldn't look past this.I upgraded to a HOTAS, which is better and has less reliance on keyboard but it costs more and has more complexity.Prior to the Logitech I had a Wingman forcefeedback USB joystick,which was ok but not as good, before that gameport joysticks.This has everything you need, particularly for flight sims, throttle, hat, rudder and lots of buttons, in fact more than most HOTAS sticks! Would thoroughly recommend to anyone either as entry level or if you don't want cost/hassle with HOTAS.

I normally use a full HOTAS system when playing flight sims such as FSX, but occasionally it's a bit like overkill when just going for a quick blast in something like the now defunct Flight.This is ideal for those times. It's got a nice weighty feeling to it's construction, and is heavy enough not to move during rapid manoeuvring. The buttons are nice and though a bit of tactile feedback in either shape of texture would help. That's a common problem with most joysticks though.The control forces are good - firm without being too heavy. But I personally find the twist rudder a bit over-light. A stronger spring would help. I often find myself twisting the stick during aerobatic manoeuvres,even when I don't need it. That's a bit annoying.They only other problem I have is with the price. On Logitechs own site in america, this stick sells for less than $30 - about £25. So why is it £45 here in the UK?Overall I like this stick. I expect I'll get use to it's minor niggles with time.JBV

Pros:* Sturdy, and steady on its base* Good fit for medium and smaller hands* Software is much easier to use than Thrustmaster'sCons:* Right-hand only* Short movement range* Physical deadzone a bit too big, I feelAfter a frustrating time with a Cyborg FLY5, this stick was a welcome relief. It is sturdy and steady on its base. The handle is smaller than my Thrustmaster 16000M and would be a better fit for anyone with medium or small hands. I did get a bit of "thumb strain" after playing for a few hours. It's quite stiff, but doesn't tip-up or move around my desk. It has shorter-range of movement than the Thrustmaster and also quite a "physical deadzone".This stick is miles better the the FLY5,but doesn't quite match the 16000M for quality and precision. The Logitech software is a lot better than Thrustmaster's though.(Note: my Extreme 3D Pro developed a fault which caused a noticeable left-yaw when pitching-up, and I've since returned it.)

I bought this because I want to play retro computer games (intended for the TRS-80 Color Computer) using an emulator. I can't comment on its usefulness as a flight stick, since I'm not into flight simulators. I'm comparing this stick to the Tandy Deluxe Joystick (use Google Images to see what this is), and using it in place of one.It's a self-centering joystick, that is grasped in the right hand. It feels a little awkward trying to place the stick in a precise place, and it is much less useful for fine/precise work than the old Tandy joystick. It has 12 fire buttons, which is more than enough. The very small throttle control has no usefulness.It's a sturdy, heavyish base.So I plonk it on a chair that has a hard surface and play my game. It works. Of all products being manufactured in the present day, it's the best substitute for a Tandy joystick that I've been able to find. It's reasonable. That's all I can say.

Although the Amazon description excludes XP from the list of supported operating systems, have no fear of buying this, if like me you despise the havoc Microsoft causes by throwing away the good stuff every time they release a new OS.To be fair Amazon are not to blame for not listing XP support.Logitech's own site causes the confusion by not including XP in their specification page for this joystick. Then it becomes clear that their left hand doesn't know what the right is doing if you go instead to the support page. This lists everything on the spec. page plus XP as well as Windows 95.On the basis of their support page I bought this joystick and it works fine in XP.My only disappointment is that,unlike their Freedom 2.4 Joystick (no longer available), it connects via a USB cable rather than radio.On the plus side, it has two more buttons than the Freedom 2.4.

Product – Very nice piece of tech. Works really well with games like ARMA 2/3 and other First person shooters, (When flying). It can also be used for simulators also. It has a really nice feel to it, and you get what you pay for….You can program the every button to what you want, and you can program the sensitivity and everything!Also I only just found out that it Is a 3 degree axil, which means you can twist it left and right, which is incredibly handy when flying a heli. I didn’t see that info in the description, however to be honest, I barely read product descriptions hahaDelivery – Delivery was very quick and only took 3 daysAdvice – I would advise you get this as it is a wonderful piece of kit,and it of very nice quality. Also, as it’s from Logitech, they can refund you as can Amazon, if you are un happy, which I can guarantee you won’t be…Thanks :)
