Extreme 3D PRO Joystick, 12 Programmable Buttons, 8-way Hat Switch, Stable, Weighted Base, Rapid-fire Trigger, USB, PC - Black/Silver,Pack of 1

When I was trying to find a replacement for my much-loved (but ancient) Microsoft Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick, I stumbled across an impressively detailed and objective review of the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro on reddit by M0b1u5. That review prompted me to buy it and I found it's everything you could want from a mid-range joystick - solid features, decent quality and great value. If you want proper HOTAS and ultimate quality you should look for more expensive sticks but, for occasional use on flight sims, space sims etc it's got everything you need and nothing you don't. Plus, it's wildly popular so you can find setups to add in to your game which saves you having to define keys etc yourself. Also, it has enough buttons that allow for 'shift +' type functions to double-up (quadruple-up?) the main function keys so you can bind many controls to it. This is VERY useful if you want to use a VR headset (when playing Elite Dangerous for example) because you can't see your keyboard when you wear a headset (no, I hadn't thought of that either...).

I bought this because I want to play retro computer games (intended for the TRS-80 Color Computer) using an emulator. I can't comment on its usefulness as a flight stick, since I'm not into flight simulators. I'm comparing this stick to the Tandy Deluxe Joystick (use Google Images to see what this is), and using it in place of one. It's a self-centering joystick, that is grasped in the right hand. It feels a little awkward trying to place the stick in a precise place, and it is much less useful for fine/precise work than the old Tandy joystick. It has 12 fire buttons, which is more than enough. The very small throttle control has no usefulness. It's a sturdy, heavyish base. So I plonk it on a chair that has a hard surface and play my game. It works. Of all products being manufactured in the present day, it's the best substitute for a Tandy joystick that I've been able to find. It's reasonable. That's all I can say.

For the price this is fantastic. I owned one a few years ago but sold it when I stopped having spare time for flight simming. Lockdown and the release of FS2020, however, has changed all that, so I bought a new one. To be honest, I am just waiting for the Honeycomb Yoke to be back in stock, but I wanted something to keep me going. The joystick is only going to be as good as the sim it's used with and I have to say the combination of the 3D Pro with FS2020 is really good. Plenty of buttons that are pre-mapped to important functions like flaps, elevator trim, etc plus a very useful throttle slider and a hat for changing views. Of course, all of these mappings can be changed in the sim, making it as versatile as possible. Obviously, using a joystick to fly a Cessna is not realistic, but it's a hell of a lot better than using a mouse and gets me 'up in the air'. As a starter joystick, I recommend this above anything else in the same price range.

Logitech G Extreme 3D PRO Joystick, 12 Programmable Buttons, 8-way Hat Switch, Stable, Weighted Base, Rapid-fire Trigger, USB, PC - Black/Silver, Pack of 1 arrived on 28th April 2025 is very good. I got this for pc games like Flight Simulator 2022 and other games

I bought this joystick as a replacement of my old logitech attack 3 joystick and after using it a bit I wished I had upgraded earlier. As expected from logitech, the Extreme 3D Pro offers excellent build quality and value for money. Compared to the quality of other joysticks in this price range I can't understand why you would buy anything else. The joystick offers eleven programmable buttons as well as a trigger, hat stick and throttle control. All the buttons very really solid and the sheer number of them means you can keep your hand near the joystick as opposed to the keyboard for longer. The throttle feels really nice and has a large flap that makes it easier to make more precise movements. The stick itself feels very expensive and works perfectly in games. I know lots of people aren't keen on the yaw function being incorporated into joysticks and I was initially sceptical myself, however I have found it to be very useful and easy to use. Beneath all the buttons the joystick has a very large and heavy base making it very stable. The only downside is that it's only really practical for right handed users so left handed people are probably better off opting for an ambidextrous joystick. Overall, I couldn't recommend this joystick enough and would highly advise choosing it over other models in a similar price range.

Got it for playing flight games on my PC. After around three months the hat switch and one of the top buttons on the stick became faulty, only working when the stick was pushed over in one direction indicating some fault with a contact inside. The stick was never dropped, bashed or otherwise mishandled. Buyer beware, although Logitech products come with a 2 year warranty if the product faults after 1 month Amazon will not take it back and Logitech WILL NOT issue an RMA. RMAs are at their discretion and their support staff ALWAYS say no, almost as if they're instructed to. If you do buy the product I'd make use of the amazon insurance otherwise you will not get a replacement on a faulty stick and be left out of pocket with a broken joystick like me. Otherwise when the stick was working, it was very nice and simple to use.

Works well and more buttons than my original Sidewinder, used for Condor 3 soaring simulator, only downside is it gets a bit uncomfortable on the wrist after about an hour, good value.

As many reviews have pointed out, it's a great entry level stick! It's very accurate for Elite Dangerous and again, as others have said, a slight tweak to the deadzone setting in-game makes it entirely playable as it's pretty sensitive otherwise and "drifting" happens". It's possible to apply a very fine control for precise flying and combat. Moving the stick a little = a really slow tracking of the target which in Elite Dangerous aids certain weapon types such as Plasma's and Railguns. You can setup the most used button functions on the stick itself, such as weapon changes, throttle, firing and targeting enemy ships internal systems etc...however you'll need a bit of imagination and may well also need the keyboard for non-frequent keys. I recommend it before buying anything £100 more expensive for the same job.
