What Osprey said.
Plus the forces can be disabled to prevent the sometimes violent shaking by editing the stick profiles. You won't lose the feel of the stick if you do it.

The MSFF sticks are getting harder to find and pricey when you do find them.
I use one and really like it. I bought a 940 two years ago and "benched" it after six months of frustrating use. It remains on the shelf.

Good Luck

I bought 3 MS FF2`s off Ebay in a period of about a month, if you keep your eyes open and remember to bid you can get some bargains, I paid £30, £24 and the cheapest was a barmy £15 incl post and a MS FF steering wheel and pedals set which isn`t my cup of tea but was in with the stick. Some say the red button ones are better, I believe they are the later version, but I`ve got both and haven`t noticed a difference tbh. So keep em peeled for auctions ending mid day on a weekday and you`ll get one for peanuts.

yep..ditto to that.
I got myself 3 on the Bay too. Same sort of price, tho' my cheapest was £6.40, I felt sorry for the guy selling it to be honest.

A wonderful stick..everything like everyone else has said in the thread

I had occasion to take one apart when the power supply board failed and they are built like tanks inside. The software is a bit limited compared to logitec as you only get to utilize the native Windows drivers but as has been said by Pudfark you can edit the feedback files with a free utility called Fedit. But they work fine as is.

If need FEdit (Force Feedback (efects) Editor) - include in MS DirectX 8.1 SDK - download here:

Thanks for the information guys.

So, I just bought a "new in box" red MSFFB2 from ebay. Am picking it up today!

He has two - so now I'm debating whether to get the second one (for modding, spare parts, whatever...). Dunno =-\

I just hope this thing actually works - new in box is nice, but it's still no guarantee.

*Edit* Just got home with my new toy . It's awesome! I haven't had a chance to edit any the force feedback, but it's great as is. Plug and play on my windows 7 64 bit. I'm surprised how much better this is compared to the g940 - it's truly night in day in the movement of the stick. The g940 felt like it was ratcheting around all the time, the MSFFB2 moves nice and smooth. Unless, of course, there's a good reason for FFB to be active . This means I'll have to decide - hook up the fighterstick grip to this base, or hookup the warthog grip to this base. */edit*
