75.33.71.134 07:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC) The term came to be used for a POV switch due to the broad, conical shape similar to straw or reed hats commonly worn in many Asian countries. It's also called a POV (point of view) Switch. The term " Coolie" may be considered racist. " Hat Switch" is actually the preferred term. It's probably assumed to be just another made-up word and/or obscure computer term. Carambola 02:57, 23 July 2007 (UTC) Likely it's ignorance of the origin of the name. Then again, given that the coolie stereotype has lost much of its currency and has been replaced by more positive stereotypes there is probably less sensitivity to the whole issue. I'm surprised that this term is still used since by the shape of the knob and the spelling of the word, it refers to the broad, pointed or bowl shaped straw hats coolies (that is a derogatory term for chinese immigrants) are often depicted as having worn while performing outdoor work. It allows one to "look around" in the cockpit of a mech or figher. If I had to guess, it is the little grey knob on the joystick that can be pressed in any direction. "Cooliehat" function is mentioned in the article, but it is not defined. Did any other products in the Sidewinder line support Macintosh computers? -The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.136.145.220 ( talk) 05:33, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
MICROSOFT SIDEWINDER PRECISION 2 JOYSTICK WORN OUT PRO
I have a Sidewinder 3D Pro joystick with an ADB connector for Macintosh computers. Please read and follow links before you call them spam. The link at the end is not spam, it is a review for the Strategic Commander, that happens to be in German. There isn't an entry for the FreeStyle Pro SideWinder Gamepad Thanks in advance! 75.6.5.139 ( talk) 18:45, 30 January 2008 (UTC) Request Freestyle Pro I would be very grateful if someone would probe theirs with a DMM and put a pinout here (and send a copy to abieler AT gmx.net). I bought a used FreeStyle Pro and do not have the USB adapter. Modul8r 22:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC) Request Freestyle Pro Adapter Pinout I came to Wikipedia to look for information on the Strategic Commander and also see no reason why it shouldn't be on the SideWinder page. The Gamevoice should also be considered for addition to the Sidewinder page, though I have no information to add to it.
It belongs here becuase of its affiliation with the sidewinder brand, and because it is a unique device that stands out and needs to be recognized. It isn't a current device anymore, but then again alot of hardware on this site isn't either. I already had added it and someone though it shouldn't be here. The Strategic commander is a Sidewinder device, and should be left in this article. The GamePad Pro was the next version of the gamepad, it had a different dpad and triggers. It was fairly innovative, with a ball joint in the middle of the pad which allowed the right half to pivot to be used as a freelook equiv. You're missing the Sidewinder Dual Strike, which was an attempt at an FPS specific game pad. 14 External links modified (January 2018)ĭual Strike and Game Pad Pro missing.This article has been rated as C-Class on the project's quality scale.
