    I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro and when I plugged it into a Windows 10 Pro...


    I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro and when I plugged it into a Windows 10 Pro computer it says it malfunctioned and wasn't recognised. I came to this site looking to see if anyone else had a problem like this and there was one answer that included a link to CNET and when it got there it said the downloader chose not to download the file. I realized then that I was no longer in the Microsoft web. Has my Sidewinder malfunctioned, is it no longer supported or is there a driver for it?

    :)

    Install old sidewinder precision pro joystick on windows 10

    Does it give options in game for keyboard or controller also can you see the joystick in the options in game to enable or customise? Did this controller work with Windows 7 or 8,? You can set compatability for previous versions if it worked then.

    The only other thing is to see if any patches on game sites... Good luck
