1530Z: PC-Dash 2
- COMBATSIM.COM's Kurt Giesselman twisted Saitek's Ali Farmer to give us the first ever public viewing of their new, streamlined PC-Dash 2. The new dash has been completely re-styled and looks to be a real winner. The buttons have a new grippy texture and a very satisfying feedback when depressed. In addition, the new dash includes a joystick and fire buttons so the entire unit can be picked up and used as a standalone game pad. The picture below shows the prototype with USB connector but the retail models will be dual port compatible. Woo hoo!
