shermank Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 With a cash and support infusion from Logitech, I think we can expect better products and support ahead from what has been the Saitek brand. Anyone interested in discussing pros and cons? http://www.techtimes.com/articles/178088/20160917/logitech-acquires-mad-catzs-saitek-for-13-million-why-the-company-wants-the-joystick-maker.htm Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack the Swede in Spain Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Do we need a discussion? I can only see pros. Jack the Swede in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreenToad Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Will be interesting to watch, but I also think that this is something good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermank Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 I agree, gentlemen.....I think this will prove excellent for the flight sim world. That is one of the reasons I posted this....looking at this as good news. Sherm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 I've got Saitek Joystick and throttle quad. Very good they are too. However, if Logitech can improve the support I'm sure it'll be a good move for potential new buyers. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Kane Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 Hopefully throttle quadrants go back into production, either that or a new line of quadrants Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfko Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 A merger like this always means less competition and this is - bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they can develop a little better quality then the current Saitek. There is a middle price skew missing, you either spend 150 bucks for a hunk of dead plastic and springs or 500 bucks for aluminum and pulleys. Build something decent for 300 bucks.

But both companies are/have been producers of joysticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmiG Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 It currently seems like all flight sim related stuff from Saitek is out of production. Yokes, throttle quadrants, pedals etc., all out of stock. I managed to snatch one of the last Cessna yokes in the country. I hope this will change with Logitech taking over, but I wouldn't count on it. Logitech has stopped production of nearly every steering wheel except the G29, so they seem to be downsizing. Which makes it more surprising that they'd acquire Saitek... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
