Dr. Yes Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Well, now the throttle and the stick will have separated USB connections, I think that would be a smart move from Saitek/Mad Catz selling them separately. I have the CH Pro Throttle, it forms a good set with my new Thrustmaster Warthog (standalone edition) but I miss the rotarie from my CH Fighterstick that I used to set for prop pitch control. Yeah, the CH stick is nice but I've always hated their throttle. It would be nice to be able to buy the Saitek throttle alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlidfan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Just because they have separate wires doesn't mean they will sell them separately. You can buy a Warthog stick by itself, but not a throttle.

HiJack Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 ooops! I was just about to order and then read that there is no dual trigger! That's a huge mistake by Saitek! OMG :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiJack Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I still can't believe they made a new "modern" stick with a single stage trigger, it feels like they took a step backwards. Where did you se the information that there is only single stage trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Yes Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I think their aiming this thing more at Star Citizen than us. Still, even Star Citizen could make use of a dual trigger. No dual trigger is a real game killer for me. Guess I'll keep dreaming about a Warthog. Edited January 7, 2014 by Dr. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4c Hajduk Veljko Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's on their twitter page. Saw someone else had mentioned it. I wonder why would Saitek NOT have the dual trigger. It is regular feature on X-52 and X-52 PRO. If enough of us ask them this question, Saitek may upgrade the trigger by the time Rhino is released.

danilop Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) The X55 stick is basically x65f stick without Force sensor, swapped Weapon Realease Button and TMS HAT (as it should be, thank you) and added springs. So I assume that they are using the same parts as in X65f which means no dual stage trigger. I really wonder who is doing market research at Saitek? He/she should be fired immediately. The same mistake again. We have only two combat flight simulators (BMS and DCS) and you put seemingly serious HOTAS on the market which doesn't fully support either of them!? Sorry Saitek, you cannot do the proper A10C gunnery without PAC, programming it on the other button is not going to cut it. And dual vs single trigger price difference is what? $0.20? Certainly infinitely cheaper than childish screen printing gimmicks or useless buttons on the throttle. :music_whistling: Unbelievable :no_sad: P.S. I would like to be wrong on my assumptions, but that is very unlikely. Edited January 7, 2014 by danilop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
