Similar -- mine ordered Dec 9, shipped yesterday Dec 25 from Shenzhen China Mainland, currently today "Customs status updated" Cincinatti HUB.

When I was reading the announcement of the v3 I was thinking "dammit I just bought the throttle and now they have an upgraded version?" When I saw the picture I thought "oh. I like mine better. I"m glad I bought it when I did!" In comparison, the v4 to me feels more like a "CM-lite". I can see why they might think the v4 size is more appropriate -- when I bought the v3 I was expecting something more along the size of the v4, I think, because when I got it I thought "wow this thing is big". I don't mind the size now, though, and every time I look at the thing I'm impressed and pleased. Also with the v4, I'd really miss having the two axis dials. So yeah, it doesn't feel like an upgrade to me. My read of the announcement (a comment in their facebook post as I recall) was that the v3 will be available for "one more batch". If I hadn't already bought, I'd definitely buy the v3 before it goes away.

And currently, apparently ($300 at Walmart, "see price in cart"), I noticed from a slickdeals thread posted yesterday: https://slickdeals.net/f/13280824-thrustmaster-hotas-warthog-throttle-stick-for-pc-300-tax

I ran across this video the other day, and he talks about some of the distinction differences between the v1/v2/v3 at 0:45. I don't believe he's trying to describe *all* the differences though; I think there's some other differences that he didn't cover. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gf1vU2m2z_0

Awesome, just made this change. Thanks for the directions!

Tell us how! I was wondering about doing the same thing, but haven't gotten to looking into it yet.
