Saitek X65 (their answer to Logitech's G940)

[Rockdog]

Hey guys,

Seems Saitek has a plan to address the Force Feedback/HOTAS system that Logitech is coming out with in September. It looks pretty interesting to me.

Seems it's being built to interface with the rest of their new Pro-Flight line.

I'll never buy a Saitek anything again.   CH is what I own and will recommend.

It's your money, wish you the best of luck. For me it will always be CH products, they work great and last 4 times longer than their competiton.

<- looks down at his stuffed ch pedals (2nd pair)... yeah right.

I would only bother with the throttle. A real disappointment that they made it for right-handed pilots, again.

That is unfortunate, and in my experience rare. Sorry for your loss, I myself would be lost without me pedals.

The nice thing about CH is it has been around and will be around.  Saitek comes out with a new design every few years.

Each and every time you switch gear, you have to make an adjustment.  Switch entire models, and that adjustment is huge.

If Saitek still made the X45, I would still be using one.  I caved and dealt with the CH learning curve (ty Bighorn!) for a few months because I did not want to become the next "I can only fly with a Sidewinder Pro--better buy 20 off ebay" guy.  I have a good feeling the fighter stick will remain fairly consistent over the next 10 years.  Who knows what Saitek will come out with.

Scotty, can you give me more power!?

Don't worry, it's too expensive if the Chinese to green back is correct.

5000 yaun = $730

I have a feeling the prices will change.
