Game Controllers: Better to Have Loved and Lost....

In My Humble Opinion
1
  • Then never to have had a Dual Strike at all.
    (sigh)
      • My MS Sidewinder Dual Strike is dying. Sending false secondary fire signals, to be exact. Which is a bummer because they stopped making them some time back. Looking around I could no longer find any for sale. MS’s website just seems to snd me in circles; the Dual Strike page is still there but it dosn’t come up in a site search, and the product is no longer listed uder the available game controllers.
        (sigh)
  • The Dual Strike is cool because it lets you hit various action/fire buttons while at the same time also operating the controls to move and look around. Plus the driver software supported a bunch of options, too. Are there any other 3-D type of game controllers like it out there? - MC

They have some for sale on ebay. Some are supposedly “new and in the box.” You can check the seller’s feedback to see if they’re reliable.

Here are a couple in U.S. stores:

Here’s a few you can get from Canadian stores. Shipping might be a bit more, but if you want it bad enough…

Yes, it’s true. I have no life. :slight_smile: I searched on Google, using the words ‘sidewinder dual strike order’ and didn’t go past the fifth page of results. So, there’s a lot more out there for you to look at. It does look like you can only find it in out of the way places now. Game trading sites also looks like a great place to check out for this sort of thing.

Good luck.

      • Well thanks for the effort and all, but what I meant was I am wanting something else that works as well, and is still in production. - MC
