Whats the difference between WingMan and plain Joystick?

"WingMan" is just a Logitech marketing term. They don't do anything special that other popular sticks don't do.

A wingman is made by logitech. It's black.

A plain joystick could be made by anyone, including logitech. It comes in a variety of colours.
 
Be careful.

I had the twisty "3D" version of that. It eventually started freaking out and I was yawing like crazy in flight sims.

I like my $12 Cyborg Graphite.

Is this all you can say? Then get a life.

Ok, i was just about to get one for myself so thats why i asked because i dont know anything of joisticks.
So wingman is just made by logitech and its different from joistick by color and nothing else?
I think to go with Logitech Extreme 3D Pro what you think about it?

I :heart: my Sidewinder 3D pro -- it's basically the first generation MS force feedback stick without the force feedback. It's trucked on since 1998, and I've never seen a joystick I liked more, and it still works like new. The only problems I have with it are:

A. One of the buttons on the base died when I spilled soda on it years ago.
B. It uses a gameport, so I suspect that my next soundcard will not support it anymore 🙁
 
Btw what is Force Feedback, its like vibration on gamepad?

Nevermind i know already, guess one i selected is not, hmm maybe i'll change my mind.

Sidewinder is Microsoft's gamepads/joysticks, just like wingman is logitechs name. From my vast experiences in buying logitech joysticks/game pads:

Microsoft > Logitech.

Go with MS, they last a lot longer.
 
it's been years since i've used a joystick and even longer since i looked into buying one. but i mainly came down to haveing the right buttons for what i wanted to play and haveing them set-up in a way that worked well for me. go to an electronics store and test a couple out first.
