Star Citizen Hotas - Who's going to get one?

[Horizonz]

So GamesCon 2015 released the first look at the Dedicated Star Citizen Hotas. Personally think it looks pretty sweet.
Its got a touch screen pad and a gimbal on the joystick so you can manoeuvre / pilot the ship and use gimbals at the same time instead of choosing one or the other.

So, I',m curious, who's going to get one?

Don't forget the other hotas they showed! they all looked great, and price points are probably good.

 

[Farasalt]

They have honestly sold me on it - by doing enough development on it, I'm going to risk getting one at first release.

 

[dubbzy]

It looks cool, but I would definitely need to see A) a price tag and B) how it can be used outside of SC. While I want a HOTAS system, I don't have a lot of desk real estate or cold hard cæsh, and I can use my xbox controller for a variety of other games

Plus I dunno if I'm good enough at SC to justify the purchase. Its like buying filet mignon to cook it cajun style

 

[Horizonz]

Only thing that bugs me is that it looks too much like what it was based off of.

I have never used a flight stick set up before, but after watching the unveiling I am glad that I held off buying anything.

I will most likely curb my ' buy it quick ' impulse and wait for a review of them before purchasing

 

[Snakey]

errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I've already got an x55. and ever since madcatz bought saitek they haven't had a very good track record at first relese

 

[Beauseant]

I will get one the question now is just when..... I have an X55 that's been working great, and with me moving to the UK in a year or two I might sell some stuff and start over.

 

[Guss De Blöd]

I have to resist, I don't need that keyboard+hotas. Repeat after me guss, I don't need it, i don't need it... :'(

 

[CGPepper]

Trackball for aiming weapons...
The game is build for M/K, i'll guess i'll go with that

 

[Star Pilgrim]

I rather buy another GFX card than a controller.
Or Oculus rift when It becomes available.

 

[Dragor]

The Entry-Version seems nice!
Especially the modularity, but thats only usefull if the keyboard is any good.

 

[CGPepper]

Star citizen plays best with a Throttle + Mouse.
Joystick + keyboard is probably the worst possible option. Makes sense on paper but not when you actually play star citizen

 

[Viedon]

Never had a HOTAS don't know how to use one but I want one of those

here is a premature welcome to the UK!

 

[Serious Table]

I'll very likely pick up that High-end one, especially if it's got an analog thumbstick on the throttle. That completely eliminates my need for a second stick on the left hand! And damn, that's sexy as hell...

Really hoping CIG is putting enough pressure on them to be absolutely certain the build quality is as good as it gets.

 

[Horizonz]

Depending on how much they are, I'm going to try to pick the high end one up. Just made my mind up (y)

 

[JBWill]

I'm waiting for more details myself. I'm definitely gonna be getting a HOTAS but will wait to know more about price/quality/etc and decide between a SC one or an x55.

 

[MrRepeatz]

well i have the x55 so im going to have to pass, this does look sweet though.

 

[Stalinator]

I really want one
