Bad kitty  :furious

Best buy is not the place.  Last time I was in there they only carried 3D Pros

I checked best buy, yeah that's all they said they carried. Are there any other computer or gaming stores that might carry them?

Try Amazon Tupac, quick delivery, well packaged. They act as a middle man, but guarantee whatever you buy.

Maybe not the best option, but works for me.

Amazon is a great choice.


Fry's is a good one if there is one in SA or Austin.

CH Pedals
http://www.provantage.com/ch-300-111dis~7CHPU012.htm

$86.53

They don't say it, but they are USB. I researched the part # and then ordered them myself. I have no idea why they are so cheap, but they've been working for me just fine.  :aok

I would try Fry's (if I remember right, the closest one to Austin is in Round Rock)

You live in Texas and have a plane, fly to your nearest Frys Electronics.

Or somehow figure out a way to fly into Burbank, CA in your Skyhawk and go to the one right off the S end of that runway.

A jack-knife and some electrical tape is all you need. The wires are all color coded ain't they? Red to red, green to green and so on. Piece of cake.

I'm actually in Lincoln, NE right now. I think Amazon will work, I may just wait to get back home to go to Frys though.

Thrustmaster T-flight hotas cougar
$30-$50

(http://images.highspeedbackbone.net/SKUimages/gallery/large/H40-0026-call04-mm.jpg)

It's the most stick I can find for a very low price.
I've had mine for 4 years, no complaints.

13 Buttons with analog rocker + twist stick.  There is a wrench underneath to lock the twist motion of the stick as well as lock the 2 pieces together.  Weighted base with adjustable spring tension.
It has an extra analog control on the front of the throttle handle and works on Playstation 3 as well.

I know there is one in Round Rock. But AFAIK, between Round Rock and New Braunfels, you can probably find another one a lot closer.

I got my x52 at best buy years ago when they still carried them. I got my x52 pro off of amzon for like 150$ back when they were still over 300 about 3-4 years ao...

Go with amazon, you can find them really cheap but still brand new.

Ps, I still need more buttons on my x52.... Used them all p.
