Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel

Hello, I want to buy a Microsoft wheel "Sidewinder Force Feedback wheel" Should I take USB model or the non USB model ? To play with GPL and many others simulations games. Thank's Franck.

Thank's for the answer, but in France, there is a new version with USB port : http://www.microsoft.com/france/chezvous/accessoires/sidewinder/force... kwheel/default.asp And the title of this page is : Nouvelle version en port USB It means : New version with USB port. That was the reason why I asked this question. Franck.

>Hi, >Yep here in the UK the USB verson has been around since last November at >least. Huh. I wonder if we are supposed to get one, too (in the US)? I would much rather the USB version than the gameport version I use now. I would like to be able to hitch my MIDI adapter back up to the gameport. ~daxe

The USB one in the UK wasn't a force feedback one, at least the ones I saw weren't ;) -- Ian Parker [email hidden] UKGPL League http://members.xoom.com/ukgpl == physman <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:#KeIHFnc$GA.272@cpmsnbbsa04... > Hi, > Yep here in the UK the USB verson has been around since last November at > least. > > physman > > "franck auger" <[email hidden]> wrote in message > news:XlTn4.150$[email hidden]... > > > I believe the MSFF is not available in a USB version, so that should > > > simplify your choice. > > > > Thank's for the answer, but in France, there is a new version with USB > port > > : > > > http://www.microsoft.com/france/chezvous/accessoires/sidewinder/forcefeedbac > > kwheel/default.asp > > > > And the title of this page is : > > Nouvelle version en port USB > > It means : New version with USB port. > > > > That was the reason why I asked this question. > > > > Franck. > > > > > > > >

As far as I know, Microsoft doesn't make a USB model of their FF wheel. Joel Willstein
