Hi Terry,
The Sidewinder is more comfortable to use,
i purchased the Exterminator last week, but
after using the Sidewinder for months, i didn't like the design/feel of the Exterminator, didnt like the idea of having a direction pad, plus a small joy lever as an option..plus the slightly different button positions, also found it to be very awkward to use. it is slightly bigger than the sidewinder, and to me felt unbalanced...
Not to say that they are not up to speed, gravis hardware is always excellent, but if you decide to purchase one it will take some
time to get used to the feel of it, could
perhaps try one out in one of the stores before you purchase one, must be a trial
with Fifa99 of course, after all, it is
the only reason we shell out our money for
expensive game tackle...
