Adrenaline Stick for Xbox

 

Conveniently coinciding with the release of Crimson Skies High Road to Revenge for Xbox, Saitek just released the world's only flightstick for Xbox, called the Adrenaline Stick.

As flight game buffs know, a joystick is the only way to fly, and this one has all the convoluted functionality you'd expect. To wit: force feedback (it vibrates and rumbles in sync with the game action), ergonomic access to a rubberized trigger and other requisite buttons, a throttle slider, 8-way POV hat switch and a rudder control in the stick itself, which twists for yaw as well as articulates for pitch and roll, making for true 3D control.

The Adrenaline Stick also has a fair amount of heft to it so it won't slide around or flitter away as you yank on it. On the downside, said weightiness doesn't make it very comfortable when placed on your lap. Use the coffee table.
