Logitech G Extreme 3D Pro USB Joystick for Windows - Black/Silver

This is a good joystick to start with. I got it to start off my aviation setup. It has plenty of buttons on it, and it has a throttle and rudder control. I use it with MSFS2020 and it works perfectly. However, the stick does have a little wiggle in it without going back into position when I use the rudder control to the left. It is easily set up, you can just plug it in and it works, even with Windows 11. It feels pretty good no matter what hand I use. The design fits in with my gaming setup. Overall, this is a really good product.

This is one of those products that is so great, you feel compelled to leave a review. I haven't owned a joystick for a very long time, since the 90s actually. I had one back then for playing the classic 6 degree of freedom games like Descent 1 and Descent 2. Skip ahead 25 years-- I just got a gaming PC and came to find out that the classic descents (with improved gameplay and graphics) still exist, as well as their long-awaited successor, Overload. This joystick is perfect for those games, and it's bringing back all the nostalgia from long ago. The other game I play this with is Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020). Using the joystick and keyboard alone no doubt is as fancy as some of the huge cockpits designed specifically for flight simulator games, but the simplicity of just having a joystick that works is great. You can control everything with this joystick in Microsoft Flight Simulator and it works great. Other things: Quality is very high. Button layout is intuitive and there are plenty of them. Accuracy of sensors inside the joystick feels spot on. Windows 10 recognized it immediately, as well as the games that I use it for. Con: On occasion when playing descent, the joystick will move on me. It is weighted well, but could be slightly heavier. I'm probably cranking on it more in descent that most people will for most games. Overall, besides making it slightly heavier, I'm not really sure what I'd change. It's a workhorse of a joystick that I expect to last for years. Price was not bad either, especially compared to other options.

If I'm remembering correctly, I've owned three Logitech Extreme3D Pro input devices over the many years they've been produced by Logitech, and recently purchased a fourth for a novice armchair pilot I'm introducing to the flight sim world. I have used the Extreme3D Pro primarily for flight simming, but I have also used it to reasonable effect for motorcycle and car simulators; I have found the Extreme3D Pro to shine brightest when used to control a flight simulator. While there are much, much more impressive input devices on the market today, the Extreme3D Pro is an excellent, no-nonsense device for the novice and experienced flight simmer. The Extreme3D Pro provides pitch, roll, yaw, and throttle in one device, and supports 12 programmable functions plus a programmable 8 position "hat" switch. The base is large relative to the height and throw of the stick, and is stable with all but the most agressive stick inputs (i.e., the base stays put as long as you don't bang the stick to the stops). The buttons on the stick are well-placed, making it easy for the novice to learn to use to good effect. The throttle is a small rotating paddle on the base behind the stick. I have found the throw of the throttle lever to be large enough to provide a good feel for adjusting throttle settings with default gains in the sims I've used with the Extreme3D Pro. Likewise, the rotation of the stick for yaw control in flight sims (that's how I've used it over the years) is natural, with good feel given default gains in the sims I've use with the Extreme3D Pro. Logitech placed 6 of the 12 buttons on the base. Those 6 buttons could have been laid out better to accommodate the natural left-hand placement on the base while using the throttle paddle. Speaking of hand placement, there might be a version of the Extreme3D Pro for South Paws, but I haven't seen one; the stick is definately meant for use by the right hand. The buttons often have functions defined by default settings in the most popular (flight) sims available today, so there is little or no need to customize the allocation of functions to buttons other than personal preference. Logitech has a rather crude, though effective, application that enables the user to program functions for the buttons, but the experienced and expert simmer will likely want to customize the allocations within their flight sim instead, saving system resources for the simulator to eek out every frame per second you can. I use the Logitech app to calibrate the joystick, but I use the simulator's function allocator to customize what the input device is controlling and how (e.g., function allocation, command repeat and rate, gain, dead-zone, non-linearity). I have not had an Extreme3D Pro fail the same way twice (yet). The construction is rugged, and the buttons have never failed on me. As the stick gets on in age, though, you might notice a persistent drifting in the calibration of the stick, or a "stuttering" in the throttle. When I've taken apart such miss-behaving sticks that are out of warrantee (it's always started to happen out of warrantee), I've found a lot of gunk in and around the sensors for the stick. Cleaning that up usually solved the problem. However, since the Extreme3D Pro is so inexpensive to purchase, and since they last so long with light to moderate use (i.e., not repeatedly slamming the stick or throttle from one stop to another during aggressive inputs...not that I have much experience with that ;-), by the time you get any kind of anomalies in the device you'll probably be in the mood for a replacement or an upgrade. All in all, I've been very satisfied with the Logitech Extreme3D Pro, particularly when used for flight simming. It makes a great first joystick or as a replacement for a low- to mid-range joystick.

Seems to be fairly well made and happy with it so far for playing ED. Excellent value as it was bought at a discounted price.

Funziona bene sia con Flight Simulator X che con X-Plane 11

Mein oller 20 jähriger Extreme 3D Pro Joystick hatte schon einige Macken und es war Zeit für eine Erneuerung. Mein neuer Extreme 3D Pro Joystick läuft wie am Schnürchen ohne Fisimatenten und Sperenzchen. Kaum zu glauben, dass so ein komplexes Teil zu diesem Preis zu bekommen ist, auch weil ich meinen Extreme 3D Pro Joystick in Einzelteile zerlegt habe, neu gelötet und wieder zusammen geschraubt habe.

Excelente produto. Muito confortável. Excelente vendedor. Rápido e produto muito bem embalado.

Un excelente joystick en su nivel de precio. Muy buen controlador de vuelo para principiantes. Buena estabilidad, buen agarre, firmeza adecuada en sus movimientos y se siente bastante resistente. Con 12 botones de buena retroalimentación, tres ejes y acelerador. USB, totalmente Plug and play en Windows 10, una gran diferencia contra un gamepad o el teclado. En FSX, la aplicación lo reconoce de inmediato. No es un HOTAS pero es un excelente control para empezar. En general un buen producto y definitivamente una excelente relación calidad precio. El único detalle es que está diseñado ergonómicamente para diestros. No lo recomendaría para una persona zurda. Lo compré de importación y llegó sin problema y 2 días antes de lo esperado. Muy satisfecho.
