It looks like it would be an excellent controller! I'm not going to run out and replace my Saitek flight control suite with it, but it may do well for a portable solution for when I'm on the road.
Mouse sticks could get very excited over this beauty.
I wonder how it would fare for compatibility?

This product can only be sold in the U.S. and Canada.

Great

You really want to pay $400 bucks for that thing?

give it a couple of years and it will be down to under 50 bucks.

Too many buttons for my mouse flying taste.

Cheaper to buy a stick.

well it was just an idea.
I like it. Since I do a lot of CAD work, it would make that easier and yes, I can see the price coming down by mid year, that's when I'll probably look at getting it.

Great

Don't feel bad PanosGR I can't seem to get this from Greece.
Since they have the same name as me and my Grandfather came to the US in 1911 from Greece, I always wanted to get me some of this.

That style mouse/controller isn't anything new. They have been making them like that for quite some time for professional video editors.

The dial allows you to easily FF/RW videos. It's just a copy of that style.

Mr Samaras ~~. I didn’t know that your origin is from Greece. What can I say. I will try to find some to ship to you. I think I can find this specific brand too, but I have to check it first.~~

That would be great. If you find it let me know the cost and I'll send you the money for it.

Here is their website: http://samaras.e-lesvos.net/

Thanks.
