Well, its not all bad.  Seems Newegg was possibly clearing stock in anticipation of new stuff:

So maybe there'll be a stick you'd like better out soon.

Not a twisty-stick.

I see that Thrustmaster has come out with a new combo joystick/throttle for PC and PS4.  http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/tflight-hotas-4 (http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/tflight-hotas-4)

Also a set of RUDDER PEDALS.  http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/tflight-rudder-pedals (http://www.thrustmaster.com/en_US/products/tflight-rudder-pedals)

How many years has it been since Thrustmaster last made rudder pedals?

The rudder pedals operate on rails so the pedals move directly fore/aft, unlike the original Thrustmaster RCS, and have differential brakes.  They pivot (brakes) about the mid point of the pedal and have removable heel rests.

They come with an RJ-12 connector (to connect to their new joystick) and a USB adapter to use on a PC with any other joystick systems.

Hotas 4 doesn't look much different than the Hotas X.  I wonder if it is just a minor update from PS3 to PS4 compatibility?

B&H already has the new rudder pedals for pre-sale at $89.99.  Pedal spread looks similar to CH Peds.
