    its not the right buttons that is the problem, its being able to avoid the bullets that is the problem and i don't think even a joystick as fancy looking as that would help that

    I'm looking to get one but can't afford it yet

    Am also looking to see if I can try it out before I buy as I want to be certain that the centre spot will be as near perfect as is possible. This is one thing that figs me off with Joysticks.

    Would also be nice if it didn't lose it's calibration like mine does, meaning I have to quickly swing it into all corners to rectify :/

    Well my X45 is giving up the ghost so I'll be getting one as soon as they arrive (I hate pre-ordering).

    Been there, done that, broke it.

    The stick snapped when I was playing European Air War.. 5 days after I paid £70 for it ....

    And it is the stick, I've been through 10's of Joysticks and can tell you that the dead zone varies on a lot, from almost perfect to nearly half the movement of the stick is within the dead zone.

    Well, I've had a play with one and they are rather sexy.... far superior to the X45 but with a decent set of drivers 'out of the box' unlike the X45... Saitek have REALLY got their stuff together with this baby, they've istened to the fans and critics and kept the good bits, got the drivers sorted from the off and delivered a stick WELL worth having....

    Just gotta convince them that I need a sample one now...

    I don't like the twist rudders. I used to use one... I found the problem was any movement you put on the stick causes some rudder movement. You just can't help it.
