Wait - ambidextrous, or left-handed? Because while I only really have the T-16000M to go on, I'm thinking it's going to be hard to get as many buttons on the grip of an ambidextrous design as a handed one - you have to give up the perfectly positioned thumb button halfway up the stick, for one thing...

Well I just bought a Cobra M5 as an interim stick until the Gunfighter comes out with a grip that's appropriate for space sims (The Su-35 grip will work just fine, thanks!), but I'm looking at a CH Throttle Pro, unless the new Thrustmaster offering convinces me otherwise. This is all to replace a Sa...

Uhhh? Throttle is always on the left. See here. What made you say it's on the right? Those images you posted? The image was just a joystick and throttle floating in space, with the joystick on the left and the throttle on the right. I was referring to their placement in that image, rather than thei...

The Thrustmaster Cougar's throttle was pretty good, I heard - and it was based on an F-16 's. The jet grip I've heard bandied around for the Gunfighter is the Su-35 's, which to my (limited) knowledge is identical to the Su-25 & -47, as well as the PAK FA/eventual T-50. Makes sense, as they're a...

PC gaming and sim gaming isn't really that expensive in the long run. Not compared to motorcycle racing, sailing and similar hobbies. =) Well yeah - I guess I should have said "compared to my income". I'm a Uni student on a disability pension - hope to be a gainfully employed member of so...

...I want it to be here already. I know that feeling! Well, it may not be here already, but I woke up this morning (eleven and a half hours ago, at 5:45am, for Uni) with a message that the Dutch post office had received the pre-alert almost three hours earlier. At this rate, I might get my joystick...

Welp, I've ordered my M5! Decided against getting the upgrades for now - money's unfortunately a factor (although obviously not enough of one to prevent me from getting a new stick!). It'll last me until the Gunfighter with jet grip comes out, then I'll grab that - I'll be in a better financial posi...

What upgrades would you recommend, to give the best experience? Ideally I'd grab them all, but assuming I don't have that kind of cash when they become available, which of the three are most important, and which is least important? Does it go sensors > gimbal > controller, or some other order? How e...

Hello from Australia! I'm looking at ordering a Defender Cobra M5 in the near future, but I'd really like one with MaRS and NJoy32, like the second generation. At least, until the Gunfighter comes out and I buy that. About how much would those extras cost me, and what would shipping be like? Should...
