I was planning on buying the Saitek X45 stick/throttle, but when I stopped by Compusa to test out the feel,

I didn't like the stiffness of the throttle.

I'm considering getting the Logictech Extrene 3D Pro stick (throttle knob on joystick)now. I like the feel.

I'm planning on picking up the Saitek X52, lots of useless buttons, and better than that a useless digital clock, and flashy lights! Doesn't come out til October though

I'm probably just going to get a game pad. I don't need much in the way of buttons, etc.

I have the older, cooler looking X36 and there is a screw that you can adjust to set the feel of the throttle! I will be set no matter what the control scheme is

X36 Stick and Throttle

Saitek P3000 wireless pad

Nostromo N50 speedpad

Keyboard and optical mouse.

I come from a purely FPS background, so Im pretty much set and ready to jump to light speed. Now andy Imp guilds recruiting on a server other than Naritus? Id like to get a pilot going!!
