Force feedback sticks

I can only find the old feedback sticks from my childhood. Are there new FFB sticks? Can't find any.

 

Edit: I'm talking about more highend stuff, not the plastic desk joysticks like CH and TM

Hope you have deep pockets!

Oh shit... that's a lotta damage.

I tried a G940 but I didn’t like it. The FFB felt too rough like there were gears in the stick and the action wasn’t smooth. I would prefer smooth response in a stick vs having FFB. I like the CH much better and I returned the G940

Now in racing sims the FFB effect is awesome and really vital. If flight sims had controllers like that? Wow. But flight sims would need to be much more popular to justify the cost. It’s interesting that Microsoft was instrumental in FFB. Hmm. They have a big opportunity now.

Except the observations of the guy writing this isn't strictly correct, as the owner of a MSFF2 since release I have had nearly 2 decades use of it, maybe more IDK, so long now, but RE: DCS......there is a couple of planes which you can feel the stick pressure increase with airflow over the control surfaces, so the stick gets firmer as your speed increases, or looser as you decrease speed, just like a real place, very cool effect.

 

I am not giving up on FFB, and I hope one day we have a proper mainstream reason for me to retire my old FFB2 :)
