problem is, in that price range its going up against gear like the Cougar HOTAS, against which it really does not compete.  

that and a stick that does not move will probably not lend itself well to AH, perhaps for a modern jet sim it would be good.

EDIT:  cant wait for the "it has split throttles so you will be able to do cool stuff with the P38!" posts :devil

Spend 400$ on a stick that will go out in a couple months when you can spend 30bucks on a stick that last longer

Logitech3dPro 6months so far so good

If any one does get it ..would be nice to hear what they think  of it... Looks sweet..... Not sure I want to relearn. Looks like buttons are in differant enough spots that it woudl take some time to get use to.

Dear Mister Fork,

     I got my G940 for Christmas.  Oooooh booooy, oooooh booooy.  It be down rite purdie.  It got all them shinny lights and buttons galore.  And boy is it nice to fly with.  I thought i could fly on the edge before but the force feedback really gives you a feel for you plane not available in non feedback set ups.  I can say I do fly better.  Takes me longer to die.  But just being able to feel your plane in flight makes it worth every penny.  Oh and did I say it had a lot of buttons.  I have more buttons than uses in AH.  But give me time and I will figure out a use for them.
