Very happy customer here :)

Simple but effective packaging!
The adapter is working as expected, no issues whatsoever.

Now I'm finally able to use my old Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback Steering Wheel with modern PCs :)

Great product!

It took about a week from Sweden to Japan. Very fast delivery.
Great transaction.
Sidwinder 3D Pro is now available on my computer. Thank you !

Excellant!!

The shipping time to the USA was good, and the product was very well packed.
I emailed the seller several times, and he replied quickly.
I rated documentation as 1 only because none is included, and the device is
plug and play, and not difficult at all to figure out.
I would definitely recommend him to other prospective buyers!!

Response from RetroFletch | April 4, 2024

There is a link to the documentation page in the product description but i have now also added external links to this page that is easier to find.
There are also the switches positions listed on the product page from the github page and thats the only documentation most people would need to get it going, its a verry simple device.
All my products contain links to documentation only, printing it out on paper would just add extra waste and cost :)

Awesome adapter - keeping my Sidewinder Pro alive!

After many years I am finally able to use my Sidwinder 3D Pro via USB and with some of my alltime favourite games again. Never thought to see this day. Awesome work. Thank you!

I'm very satisfied, good price, works great.

I found the github for this usb adapter online and decided I needed one, but I lack the ability to make it myself. I found this listing, signed up for Tindie and a week later I have my part here in the midwestern United States all the way from Sweden. Works great, thank you.

Product works great!

I bought this to revive my Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Wheel. First experience on Tindie.com

Delivery was quick. Packing was decent enough.

The product works great. The only small issue I had was lack of documentation when I needed to update the necroware firmware through Arduino IDE. I had no knowledge of the exact board/MCU used, which is relevant to compile and upload it (especially the voltage level).

I found out most by researching online and using my mobilephone to inspect the board and the seller quickly confirmed the hardware specs.

My old wheel works now on Windows 10 and Linux!

Helpful seller, prompt dispatch and excellent product

Seller replied promptly to me when I had a query, product was sent quickly and works without issue. I can now use my old Sidewinder 3D Pro again, just fired up a game of Descent tonight. Thanks again!!
