Customers are saying

Customers are satisfied with the Extreme 3D Pro Gaming Joystick's price, ease of use, programmable buttons, durability, and compatibility with various flight simulators. They appreciate its responsiveness, which enhances their gaming experience. However, some users have expressed concerns about the throttle's small size and difficulty in precise control, as well as the joystick's sensitivity off-center and slight stiffness during flight maneuvering. Additionally, a few customers have reported experiencing drift after extended use and have wished for a bit more weight to prevent movement.

    I have always had good luck with Logitech and Best Buy only has 1 joystick to choose from. But they picked a good one. I started playing Elite: Dangerous and wanted a HOTAS setup again but wasn't going to order a Saitek X52 or X55. I had 1 before and I would lose button use month after month until it died. The throttle on the Logitech is ok but I wanted a better throttle in my left hand with buttons so I bought a second 1 and turned it into a throttle and reverse, strafe, and straight up/down with some extra buttons and it feels pretty good and at a great price. I'm just trying to figure out if I'm going to mount them to a board and set it on my lap or modify my chair to hold them on the armrests. I'm including a picture of them temporarily clamped to a 1x10 board.

    As an avid gamer who enjoys a variety of flight simulation and space exploration titles, I can confidently say that the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Gaming Joystick is a true gem in the world of gaming peripherals. This joystick is a must-have for any serious gamer seeking precision control, comfort, and an immersive gaming experience. Upon unboxing the Extreme 3D Pro, I was immediately impressed by its sleek and ergonomic design. The silver and black color scheme gives it a modern and attractive appearance, perfectly blending with any gaming setup. The joystick feels robust and well-built, providing a reassuring sense of durability. Setting up the joystick was a breeze. With its plug-and-play functionality, I connected it to my computer, and it was instantly recognized without any need for drivers. The integrated throttle and 12 programmable buttons were easily customizable using Logitech's user-friendly software, granting me the flexibility to map commands to my liking across various games. The standout feature of the Extreme 3D Pro is its exceptional precision and responsiveness. Thanks to Logitech's advanced sensor technology, every movement is translated smoothly and accurately into the game, allowing for precise control during intense dogfights or delicate maneuvers. I found myself effortlessly executing complex aerial maneuvers in flight simulators, and seamlessly navigating my spaceship through asteroid fields in space exploration games. Moreover, the comfortable grip and strategically placed buttons provide a fatigue-free gaming experience during long sessions. The contoured design fits naturally in hand, ensuring that my fingers rest comfortably on the buttons and trigger. The base also features a sturdy weighted design, preventing accidental slippage during gameplay and further enhancing overall stability. One feature that truly enhances immersion is the 8-way hat switch, allowing for effortless POV (Point-of-View) adjustments. Quickly looking around in the cockpit or surveying the battlefield becomes instinctive, adding to the realism and excitement of the gaming experience. Another remarkable aspect of the Extreme 3D Pro is its affordability. Compared to other high-end joysticks on the market, this joystick delivers comparable performance without breaking the bank. It's a fantastic value for the level of quality and precision it offers. In conclusion, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro Gaming Joystick is a game-changer for flight simulation and space exploration enthusiasts alike. Its outstanding precision, comfortable design, and customizable features elevate gameplay to a new level of enjoyment. Whether you're an experienced virtual pilot or a beginner looking to enhance your gaming experience, the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is an excellent investment that will not disappoint. Highly recommended!

    My favorite Joystick

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Simply love this joystick. Great design; fits great in the hand, and has plenty of programmable buttons, plus the nice hat button. The twist feature of the handle is perfect for rudder control without the need for an additional set of buttons (in the past I'd use A and D keys for rudder). It never needs recalibration--plug into the USB port and it is dead centered out of the gate. The base has a solid weight to it, and along with the rubber tabs on the bottom, it almost feels like it is glued to my desktop, which is great considering I tend to overpull the directional axis. In typical joystick play, this joystick has lasted me years; however, since I started playing World of Warplanes for long stretches of game sessions, I've been wearing the joystick out a bit (eventually it will get to the point I have to start calibrating it, and then calibrating it frequently--it seems to occur after about 5,000 matches played thereabout). The joystick is typically around $30 or less though, so feel like I really get my money's worth even if I had to replace it once a year. However, I paid the $7-9 for the Best Buy protection, and when it got to the point I was having to frequently re-calibrate it, I just took it in to Best Buy and they swapped it with a brand new joystick for free. This is my favorite joystick I've used in for the past couple of years, and certainly my favorite at this price point (I've always loved the CH Flightstick Pro, but it is typically 3x more money, so I've stuck with the Extreme 3D Pro and couldn't be happier).

    All buttons and sticks are easily programmable and they immediately update in real time, no restart needed (must first install the stick's driver and software). 12 buttons, two joysticks and a switch tab. The base platform is wide and heavy enough to keep it firmly planted on a flat surface so the entire device does not tip over when doing aggressive moves with the stick. Product weight says 2 pounds, but to me it feels more like 4 to 6 pounds. Moving the stick feels firm, which is good so you don't over shoot your movements and frantically move back to align. The plastic material feels solid as steel. USB cable is long enough, about 6ft. Can't beat the price! The corner holes make it easy to set on a DIY side table if you build your own gaming seat simulator, you can use the holes as channel locks or run straps through them. I honestly can't think of any cons with this thing. It's perfect.

    If you are looking for a joystick to get into flight sim for a very cheap price look no further because for the price this product is perfect. Not only do you get a joystick but it also has extra buttons you can map to whatever you like and it comes with an axis which you can use as a throttle. I have used this in DCS, Squad, arma 3 and star citizen without any issues at all.

    I have been World of Warplanes and my old worn out joystick would no longer move all the way to the left. I loved the feel of the old stick, but it was time to change. I reviewed a bunch of them and all the reviews said that this was the best for the money. I didn't think I would like it, but figured I would give it a try. I am very impressed. The feel is comfortable, the controls responsive, the base is very well weighted and World of Warplanes recognizes all the buttons and axis's. My in-game scores have increased immensely. If there is one negative, it would be the throttle control that to my mind works backwards. I have to pull it back to increase power where I was more used to forward for power. I am used to it now so not deal breaker, but every time I use it, I still go hmmm. I am very happy with this joystick even though it isn't all that attractive to me.

    This joystick is MUCH, MUCH better than I expected when I ordered it online. As should be expected, it controls all 3 axis... .. pitch (dive or climb) .. roll (bank right or left) .. and yaw (turn right or left by turning the joystick) at the base of the is a very well placed throttle control. this control is well made and undoubtedly will last thru much abuse. On the joystick itself, is... ..a trigger (in the normal position) ..a thumb button (readily available to right-handers) (on the top) ..a 'swiggle-stick' ( the joystick often seen on Gameboys or other game controllers) ..4 programmable buttons at the base of the joystick are 6 more programmable buttons (for a total of 12 programmable functions) All the buttons are well marked with numbers (up to '12') for easy use. The base of the joystick is very wide and I have had no problems with instability while using it in some REALLY furious flying.

    Had one before but gave it to my grand nephew and needed a controller for flight sim. You get 12 buttons and a twist stick for rudder control if you want it. Works as it should and is recognised by flightsims and racing games I have tried it with. Good alternative to the higher priced controllers if you don't want to use a keyboard and mouse only.

    You certainly can't beat the price. This budget joystick ticks all my boxes. It has all the buttons I need, and it twists, which is invaluable for taxiing my aircraft. It's nice and heavy, too, which helps me control things. It has a smooth, controlled action and seems to be perfectly centered. My flying has really improved since I bought this.

    Picked this up to play Elite Dangerous because mouse and keyboard flying is difficult. This joystick is fantastic, I plugged it in and was flying as soon as i booted up the game no configuration needed it worked right out of the box. The throttle is nice and easy to use. This is a great inexpensive joystick for entry into a HOTAS setup.
