I purchased my first Saitek HOTAS back in the days of 15 pin D connectors and Jane's F15. Currently have the Saitek X52 Pro which works very well overall. http://imgur.com/a/9cIVL
I'm waiting to see the Official Star Citizen joystick Saitek are making before buying anything joystick related.
Yes. Sandy said in the last livestream that she had been in talks with Saitek who were very keen to do it. They are going to put up a poll to see what kind of features etc people want.
I suspect it will be well beyond my price range for a while, to be honest, but it's very exciting nonetheless. Rep for putting me on to it... not that you need any more
