    I have tried the shop demo units when they were new, and they seem pretty cool, impressive range of motion/rumble effects. Not sure what games support it though as im not a big joystick PC gaming fan. Should be great for dogfight games, and other things like that.

    Will you take some pictures? I'm actually in the market for an old Sidewinder, but I need the right button layout. I bought one of the newer ones recently but took it back b/c there was no button right behind the stick. I need that for Descent 3 -- otherwise I go tits up in seconds.

    Are you talking about the joysticks, or the gamepads? If it's the stick with the wire based force feedback...they're amazing. Absufreaking amazing. I wanted one when they came out, but they were so expensive.
