    Is THIS our next favourite Joystick?

    http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/cyborg_evo.htm



    By all accounts, its gonna be under £35

    Its got 5 thumb buttons (Platinum has 3) so you wont run out of weapon combos

    and from what I can make out.....that funny "foot pedal" at the back of the base is the throttle

    Where it SHOULD be....under your thumb (well thats MY humble opinion anyway)

    Hmm.....maybe we should suggest noobs buy THIS one from now on..

    The throttle for which has made it big in Hollywood!

    I was watching T3 the other day and the bit where John Connor powers up the particle accelerator... it's an X45 throttle!
