Been using an MS Sidewinder Pro for about 7 years now without any problems-quite rugged.
I understand MS are shortly giving up the Hardware side-anyone else heard anything?

Hey Areonut,

Thanks for you input about the MS Sidewinder.  Just one question though.  Is Microsoft still making, or should I say, is the same version of the stick you are using still on the market?  Usually, companies make products for a limited time and then update them and when they update it, sometimes the quality is sacraficed for more features.  Companies today are all about making money, so they make things to break down sooner than they did in years past.  That is not the case with every company though.
