Picked up the Virpil T-50CM from Andrei at VPC during a recent trip. Got the base and desk mount with it as well. I've had a few days to mess around with it now and I love it. Build quality, feel, precision, all top notch, couldn't be happier with it. I didn't like the feel at first with the default springs and cams but now that I've changed them out to the soft springs and hard center, softer end cams, it's a completely different (better) feel for me. It just snaps into place when centered on the roll and pitch axis/axes and rolls through both axes with a ball bearing and cam mechanism that is ultra smooth. Buttons are another high point, very crisp click feedback when pressed or actioned. This stick is not meant to be sitting on a desktop but mounted into a cockpit, or, like I have it, mounted to the desk with the VPC desk mount. I highly recommend the desk mount, it's rock solid and very adjustable. The height of the stick really gives a more precise feel, you can add extensions if you need to as well. Besides function, this thing is a work of art too, you can see the quality of this thing just looking at it.
Overall, highly recommended, very well worth the price.
