Flight Systems G940

NOT CONTENT with taking my money for an MX Revolution Mouse and a G15 gaming keyboard (not to mention a QuickCam Pro webcam), Logitech are now trying to tempt me with their Flight Systems G940, comprising a force feedback joystick, dual throttle and rudder pedals. According to the Press Release:

...the design and controls of the Flight System G940 were inspired by military and commercial planes and helicopters.

“There’s nothing ordinary about a G-series gaming peripheral, and the G940 is no different,” said Ruben Mookerjee, Logitech’s director of product marketing for gaming. “We approached this project with the goal of redefining the flight sim experience. Whether you’re flying an A380, an F/A-18 Hornet or a Comanche helicopter, when you want to feel the wind on your wings, control engines together or independently or master tricky maneuvers, the G940 behaves and feels like the real thing – from takeoff to landing.”

For an immersive experience, the three-component Logitech Flight System G940 features a force feedback joystick, dual throttle and rudder pedals. And, with more than 250 programmable button options integrated into a fully featured HOTAS (or Hands On Throttle-and-Stick) design, you’re able to access critical aircraft systems without taking your hands off the controls.

Come on, Logitech, show my wallet some mercy...
