Well the good news on it is the switches will be the only thing to fail since they are the only thing that moves on other than the throttle.

It looks nice, but $400 is a lot of mulla

A few people discussed the joystick here:

Personally I'd wait a year after release before touching it. That would give Saitek some time to work out the "undiscovered" bugs and failures.
