Perhaps the most campest looking computer games peripheral money can buy.

The twist stick is not as good as the throttle based rudder control.

Its release date is late October last I heard, and I'm 1st in line.  I dont like the twisty stick crap (and wish it could be easily lock in...but it never is that way :confused: ).  I could do without the half a dozzen blue lights, and will be painting them over if they are too obtrusive (you can read by the 2 blue LEDs in my Antec Sonata case.

I love the ruberized grip stuff

I love the new stick position sensor

Besides...after 3 years, my old saitek is about to die...so its perfect timing!
