Maybe I´m little bit to pragmatic but definitions like "because we can!" and "No one in real life would use all horsepowers and N/ms of torque" are no definitions for me, it´s just like: "buy it, it´s good".
You sound a bit upset for some reason so let me try and break this for you. The announcement is describing exactly the product; it's a mix of technical and marketing language meant to keep things in balance so it won't sound too technical or too pompous.
The most important things from this upgrade are:
- each axis with its own micro-controller. You could look at it like a comparison between a 3600x processor with 6 cores compared with the 3700x processor with 8 cores. Can you really feel that if you upgrade? Not immediately, but there's improvement; also future applications will run better on the upgraded 8 core processor.
- less wires. Wires could get in the way especially considering there are a lot of moving parts around them. There are only a few left now and they have a safe place to rest. Also less connectors to fail.
- the new dust cover. It's thick and better material than before.
- LED on the case - self explanatory.
- new sets of cams and springs - self explanatory.

You have to understand how VKB works - they have the HQ in China and that covers only some parts of the world. They also have dealers in NA and Europe. The fact that the products are late in Europe is not because VKB or the local dealer don't like European people, but because of EU laws and taxes the products have to get shipped from HQ to the dealer, stored locally after clearing customs and only afterwards shipped to the customer. NA customers are getting their products directly from China sometimes in less than a week since order date.

I don't understand this - they just launched a new set of space cams. And they also released an UPGRADE which means if you already have a base you could upgrade to the latest WITHOUT buying a new one. And only this thing is saying a lot because they could make more money selling only new bases without upgrading the old ones.

VKB is a quality producer, best on the market at this time. Browse this forum and see how many technical issues you'll find compared with Virpil's forum. Or do the same on Reddit.
I'm not taking Thrustmaster and Logitech into this as they're dinosaurs selling outdated and overpriced items because of people's ignorance.
