The Logitech WingMan Extreme Digital is a digital PC joystick released in 1999. It connects via a standard 15-pin gameport and is designed to offer precise, jitter-free control for flight simulators and action games. Logitech, better known at the time for mice and trackballs, built the WingMan Extreme Digital with a focus on durability. The stick features a contoured right-handed grip with an oversized, cupped palm rest and molded surfaces that keep your hand planted. Controls include five red buttons, a red trigger, a black 8-way hat switch, and a throttle lever on the left side of the base. Two of the buttons sit on the base; the other three are on the yoke. The throttle is a slim, red plastic lever that slides fore and aft. Internally, a thick steel base plate provides heft and stability, while rotational sensors for the three axes (pitch, roll, throttle) and a pair of springs provide tension. The software setup utility lets you program button assignments and save profiles, though the printed manual devotes only two pages to actual instructions. System requirements are a PC with DOS 5.0 or Windows 95, a 15-pin gameport, and a CD-ROM drive.
