Pilotasso Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 those are 2 hotas in 2 different class of prices. The G940 is the most expensive, I advise you to search for alternates in that price range. X65F, CH and the upcoming HOTAS warthog. Personally I had a bad experience with the G940.

Pilotasso Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 massive center slop (twice as much as I had with X52), and it doesn't center properly when FF is engaged, requires game optimizations, that for LOMAC for example haven't been done. Spiking rotaries, pi$$ poor precision of throttle, weak programing abilities and software (so poor that cheap sticks supersede it) etc etc. Definatly not worth the money...

Peyoteros Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 (edited) Had 2x X52's, and now have X52Pro. I'll never buy Saitek anymore, period! And seeing what Pilotasso wrote about 940, I'd say neither of those is a wise choice. You probably wanna ask what kind of bad experience...? Well, quality of the stick itself. The only metal parts are screws holding stick together... After one year of using (I consider my self hard user, I use alot) had to set couple of deadzones which now are about 1 cm wide. Well, 3 Saiteks over 7 years, trust me, NO GO! no no no!

Spetz Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 I run saitek and have never had a problem, currently using a X52pro. Keep in mind that all that split throttle coolness is useless in FC2 and BS and the games does not recognize it. I'd prefer to spend 1/4 the price for a fully working X52pro then a get a super expensive stick that only 3/4 works. We'll see when the A10c HOTAS comes out tho...after a review or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
