I like that my HOTAS looks semi-futuristic, and futuristic enough to be prop'd into a few movies and tv shows. But I can't seem to like the X55 or the X I wish they'd just make an X53 or an X52 Elite.
I'm using a Steam Controller for ED and everything else now which I love to death, so it's not like I'm desperate to replace it. I don't buy much from Amazon generally because factoring exchange rates and shipping to Australia it's usually quicker and cheaper to just buy locally. I have a Vive coming sometime in May, so I'm debating whether or not to grab one and learn how to use it beforehand so I'm not trying to figure it out with a headset on somewhere down the line. It's not the kind of thing I'd want to get without seeing a lot of reviews though, unless it's leaps and bounds better than its predecessors I might go for an older model and save a couple hundred dollars. Assignable to any in-game axis function, or programmable using the included software, running out of control options is no longer an issue.
This is why the new mini analog sticks are required providing four more axes of control. Pitch, roll, yaw, backwards, forwards, up, down, left and right the titular 6DoF all need to be accounted for. Now they have seemingly corrected in the new Saitek X56 designso I'm interested how well it works if anyone buys one of those.
