Any word on the release yet? It would be nice if it coincided with JTLS.

looks nice... but once apon a time I had a Saitek Cyborg 3D pro (actually, I had two of them)
and one time I was flying my trusty Y-wing online in X-wing vs. TIE-Fighter (ok, I'd have much
have rather have been in the X-wings, but my team sucked at bombing... so I had to) and the opposition
was alot harder than expected... and I got angry, and broke the trigger letting loose an anger driven
Heavy Rocket into the aft of a player flown enemy Assualt Gunboat.
The trigger had these retarded little holes in it, and it just snapped about the 3rd one down. Cut my finger pretty badly... but the stick still worked for another 6 months with a duct-tape/ paperclip... and I eventually bought another one.
The second stick lasted less than two weeks.
... I've had a Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro 2 for about 4 years now. It still works great.

just get the saitek X-45, about 70 bucks, looks the same, same controls, only doesnt have the display panels that tell you useless **edit** that you can look at your clock and get the same info any time.
X-45 = realistic lights (yellow buttons with a red missile launch button under the safety flap)
X-52 = blue **edit**?
