The X-52, the EVO force feedback, and the EVO wireless.

They got rid of the rocker I guess. . . and aded some ergonomic adjustments, a two position trigger. . and other stuff. . it looks odd. . I would have to try one out to see how it feels. But given how adjustable it is I guess it should be pretty good even though the hats look liek they are in strange places. And I guess the base buttons mean it isn't a true HOTAS anymore ;-)

Ergonomically it looks like they took a step back to me. I liked the positioning of the old one but this new thing just looks awkward. Looks like they used the same style axes as before to, using that spring and disk thingy :( But like you said, I will definitely look for it and see if my digits will be able to work it.

Yeah, looking at the EVO I thought the same thing. . . until I realized all the little adjustment screws and after playing with them I was able to get the EVO to fit well. Clearly though we need a guinea pig to try it out!S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX Squadron XO

There are folks in the forum who got it even before november. . .most say they like it, but I am not really sure what they are comparing it to. It is a bit more pricey, and certainly I see why. I just would hope that the buttons are higher grade than before. Also this has a twist stick, no more rudder rocker. . . for those with rudder pedals hopefully you can lock out the twisting.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO
