Intel Pentium 4 processor at 2.0GHz. Compare prices before you buy. The Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro is the newest edition to my joystick collection. The reason that I bought a new joystick was for the new features that it offered. Some New Features Force Feedback.
Force feedback is actually quite new in the market.
This allows you to react faster to threats than with a non-Force Feedback joystick. The Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Pro also features more than 100 different force feedback sensations. The 16-bit on stick processor and included RAM is what makes the price tag. Since Microsoft included so many force feedback sensations, the stick would require A LOT of RAM and a super fast Pentium processor to run. The on stick processor and RAM is meant to speed up the transfer of instructions from the stick to your computer to improve game speed and to increase the compatibility with older computers.
