Aviator Joystick

[town]

Saitek have a new joystick in their portfolio. It's called the Aviator and has 2 throttle controls. It does not look as good as and X52 though.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

Personally I don't like it. I think it just looks well.....tackey.

It looks...odd.  And the throttles are in front which is strange.  Ill stick with my CH Yoke and Pedals

WTF? is that?

Tacky is a good choice of wording CT sort of goes with all of Saitek's current design tecniques, check out that set of rudder pedals.

I agree don't see much use of the throttle controls being placed where they are,

And a first in joystick design, the Saitek Aviator features dual throttle levers.

and last for you, lmao. I don't get it, unless the photo is at a really awkward angle they appear useless, current cost is $40 we will see these in the $10-15 range soon after release.

Withen about a year your going to be able to pick these up on eBay for about $5 a piece. Which is going to be great. Now we will all be able to have a decent backup stick for under $10

Oh Saitek,
