That's not true! In the 90s the Sidewinder input devices were sometimes really good! The strategic commander never happened, and I definitely didn't buy it, stop asking!

But the FF joysticks and the gamepad were really good.

Hahaha holy cow. My dad had a sidewinder joystick. It was called a thrust master or something. Nostalgia.

They made the best wireless mouse I've ever owned under that naming moniker. The SideWinder X8. Big and heavy, which I love. Magnetic charging cable you could use while still using the mouse.
