It looks nice, but personally I'm going to miss the rudder rocker in the throttle.

Nooooooo!

.pdf link :/

There should be a warning attached to those :/

On the other hand... I want one too. Please tell me it's twisty handle?

Only reason I disliked the x-45.

Twisty handles are for skirt wearing pansies.

After dealing with the pot for my Wingman's twist feature falling out of its socket twice and having a chronic drifting problem, I'd honestly much rather have a rudder rocker or something to use rather than a twist.

I agree. Logitechs suck. But I lack the funding and necessity to buy a Saitek. I haven't used my joystick in nearly 2 months as it is.

hmm.. i remember when a joystick was a 4" stick on a 5" square base. It had a little red button in the corner, too.

I don't think my bike has that many buttons. hehe, it'd take me a week to learn how to use that thing, not to mention the game i'm trying to play.
