I've seen that too, and wondered if it really would work as advertised... just
at $120.... :) jeeeeeeeez.

Makes you wish the Quickshot Joyswitch had 2 midi ports, at that kind of
price....

I just use the joyswitch as an extension lead now, and swap my Saitek R4 FF
and Sidewinder Joystick.....

Could you tell me how good the Saitek wheel works ??

I am planing on buying a FF wheel, but i want it to have a gear stick. As
far as I know only the TM Formula Force and the Saitek wheel have one.

Thanks

Jaime

I'm quite happy with it at the moment, except that the "builder" for the Wheel
didn't ship at the tim i got mine- maybe Siatek have completed it now, but i
miss the programmable fucntions.

nice wheel, good strong feel to it.
