Sidewinder Force Feedback Joystick

I just purchased a Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro Joystick.
How can I check whether it is working like its supposed to ?
On the ground, the stick wobbles uncontrollably. Pick up speed and it smooths out. Is that how it is??
This forum seems to like the Logitec version. Anyone with experience of both and would like to comment?
Thanks everone.

Using it for flight sims? That is how it is on take off rattles around as you roll down the runway then smooths out after you take off. Use care with the cords I broke a very small wire in mine when it fell and I grabbed the cord. Not a force feed back anymore.
