Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Game Controller: Compatibility in Windows 10 (64-bit) I am sharing my experience because, until tonight, I had been unsure whether my Microsoft SideWinder Force Feedback 2 Game Controller would actually work in Windows 10, reading Microsoft's official compatibility website listed as 'Not compatible'. It recognizes this wheel as standard HID and I think this is the reason that FFB does not work in this game (to be specific - it recognize presence of FFB so it activates FFB on the wheel when launching the game and it is even possible to toggle autocentering function in the game settings but it cannot spin the wheel, use effects etc). This wheel is working in W10 flawlessly (even with FFB) but some game (Richard Burns Rally) can't recognize it as MS SideWinder wheel. I just want to ask if vJoy could help in this.
