		Introduction Microsoft's Sidewinder Force Feedback Racing Wheel can be described as you describe any of Microsoft's hardware gaming products.
		Also, (at least for most games), the "brake" pedal is actually reverse, so you can easily get confused (brake is now on the wheel, as one of the thumb switches by default).
		Of course, if one of the buttons is uncomfortable, you can just switch it to where you want using the MS Sidewinder Profile Activator.

		As the name suggests, it is apart of the infamous 'Sidewinder' family, which can be described as the industry standard setting family of gaming pads/joy sticks.
		With this in mind, EA sports own a large hunk of the sport department, and many of their games will work with this controller without a single problem, straight out of the box (Madden 2k1 and NHL 2k1 for example).
		Not only this, but Microsoft have added a 'scheme' option in the controller properties, where you can load a certain supported game's scheme and use it with this controller to its full potential.

		The sidewinder joy pad in my opinion is great for those fast action motoring games, but that’s not to say you can’t use it for other ones.
		I use my sidewinder pad for nearly all the games I play, it’s comfortable to hold and has a button for just about everything but better yet you actually use it much like a steering wheel.

	nV News - Microsoft SideWinder Game Pad Pro Review
		Although I was temporarily distraught to the fact that I would need a second hub, I brightened-up a bit after I realized that Microsoft did not follow the bondi-blue trend with their new Game Pad, as with most other USB devices.
		Microsoft seems to have taken notice to the fact that most of its buyers (North American, Germans, Brits, etc etc) have a great number of tall and large-boned people in their respective populations.
		Features that are missing, but in my opinion can be easily forgotten are the original SideWinder Game Pad's daisy-chain connector and bay, as well as the original 'Mode, Start, and M' buttons.

		Featuring 10 programmable buttons, Microsoft's patented digital-optical technology, and continuously correct calibration, the SideWinder Precision Pro delivers just the right amount of control in a standard joystick.
		The SideWinder Precision Pro's ergonomic design feels comfortable in the hand, and the weight and traction on the bottom of the joystick keep it from moving around.
		We found that the movement of the joystick was a little stiff, which sometimes made it difficult to fully appreciate the games.
