They add hundreds of new drivers to our site every day.
The stick will work fine simply by plug and play. But in order to get mapping functions, you will need to try a third party software.
I am currently using Pinnacle Game profiler. You can try it for free. I paid for it because I liked it so much and the tech support was very helpful getting me started with it. It is very powerful software that will allow you to map virtually any combination of keys to the joystick and create your own custom profile.

Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Windows 10
I currently have a 21 function setup on my FFB2. Hey Coastie, I just started using the pinicle program and i'm finidng it a nightmare to set up a good profile, the help file is really usless lol Is there any chance you could export your profile sertup and email or pm it to me so I can test it out and see how a correct setup should be. If you would do that i would greatly appreciate it indeed. After all the afternoon of work, I have cleaned it and removed all the sticky 'film', now it is as new but better because it will never be sticky again. I have used meth in a little glass and soaked small zones with the help of little cotton sticks (these used normally for the ears). And then rub with nail, little plastic sraper as you suggested and some old cotton T-shirt now used as cloth for cleaning.
After that I have applied a car black plastics restorer from krafft and now it seems like new. Finally I can enjoy another time of my MSFF2. Thanks a lot for the advices!
