I'm looking at a few different HOTAS joysticks, and I've come across the X56. It's a pretty good HOTAS joy from what I've read, and much cheaper than the thrustmaster warthog (although the warthog is on my some day wish list). The only problem is that the X56 series were made in two batches. One by Saitek when they were owned by Mad Catz, and one when they had been bought by Logitech, blue/black and grey/black respectively.

Mighty Ape has one, but the picture is blue/black, which means either it's old stock made under Mad Catz rule, or the picture is old. So maybe it's time to head to PB.

In any case, what joysticks do you have, and how would you rate it?
