I have a G940 at the Rise of Flight display at E3. The stick is simply awesome. All three components in one package. Great overall design, trim tabs galore, force-feedback and split-throttle. This is a very nice stick guys. GoGamer will carry it. no VAT in the USA! At least not yet. :-( The best way to describe the stick is it is the G25 wheel of flight. The bar has been raised.

Just so you know the lineage. The gentleman who used to work at Saitek and launched the X-52 line is the gentleman in charge of this product at Logi.Logi sticks are in great hands. I've been bugging him for years to make a stick that has everything and I think this one comes extremely close to my idea of a perfect stick.

Pretty good, but nothing earth shattering. Very straight forward. If there was one thing that could be sexed up on the stick I would say it is the profiler, but the calibration routine and test screens are very nice.

Cool. I'm not in the market for any new HOTAS gear at this time (very satisfied with my CH gear), but I'm glad this new HOTAS will inject some more competition into the flight controller market and maybe finally get CH to build their own split throttle. biggrin

Yep, that's the big question from me too! Is there finally a competent rival for the MSFFB2?

The FFB is great, only issue is that we had some integration issues with ROF due to time constraints for E3. The resistance in the pitch axis was missing and it made lining up targets difficult at the show. It works great with BlackShark though. The ROF issues will be resolved ASAP. Neoqb has not gotten the stick yet in Russia. It's in the mail to them.

And yes there is a mini stick. :-)
