If the Control Deck can be used in combination with other wheel brands, Saitek should sell them alone, I'm sure many sim racers would consider them as a nice accessory.

This was what I wanted to list. Got sent the full package by accident from the distributor. When life gives you lemons.... plant a lemon orchard and use the Saitek farming simulator controller to efficiently harvest said lemons....

Ok, thanks.



From what I've read FS17 won't be supporting VR.

This is actually the sort of product design/layout I'd be interested in, as it would go well in a No Man's Dangerous Citizen spaceshipey sort of setup... perhaps even inspire me to build a sim-pit...

As is, I have no interest in FarmSim so would only want the panel. £120 seems the going rate on certain unmentionables.
However, there are three main deal-breakers:


1/. Saitek - Ever since Mad Catz got involved, it seems their stuff has just gone to spit. Immediate loss of all interest when I see their name.... which is a shame as their success could spur other makers to do something similar but better.

2/. Cheap plasticky crap - Possibly due to beaing a Saitek product, but I wouldn't trust that thing to last even half the warranty period. I doubt I could even mod it with grown-up backlit switches, thanks to that plasticky clamp.

3/. Skittles - If I want to taste the rainbow, I'll go hang with the boys at the Pride march. But I'm not a kid, so those colours take the already broken deal and smash it into tiny pieces.

Gimme decent build quality with dark coloured switches and backlighting and then we'll talk....

Thanks for the feedback. I've looked at more grown up sim products before but they all look a bit "built in a shed" and I believe the market to be too niche for us to support. There are products like this out there:

which I could stock. If people show enough interest then I can investigate further :)
