Hey all. I am nearing completing the review for the Logitech G940. Also, I will be giving away a copy of DCS Black Shark real soon, so keep your eyes open for it. I also have a copy of Tom Clancys Hawx to give away as well!

Well, if you think its a gimmick promotion, don't bother trying to win it when the contest starts. Pretty simple isn't it? Maybe you should find some other posts to bother people in. You have been negative towards me long enough. This is supposed to be a friendly community, and you are not very friendly.

True mate ... i have been a bit of an to you, but all this commercial stuff is hardly the Life and Soul of what these Forums are supposed to be about.
I never out right called you a Spammer, but you seem to enjoy it?
C'mon pal, get that G940 review you have been talking about for months now up, before's its onto a new version
The Saitek X64 Force Sesning dual throttle HOTAS is out next month, The Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS has been announced (Good news for the forthcoming A-10 sim) even CH are leaking news of a new ... way overdue HOTAS.
He is taking a while, but he is not a large web site based review entity. He is a user. Logitech chose to give him a unit for that down to earth real person review that most buyers will align with more than a big review website that generally is believed to only be kissing the ass of the manufacturer so they will keep sending them goodies for them to review and keep the hits coming on their website so they can sell add space.
Don't know why I am defending him, just seems like you have a vendetta or something though.
I am sure they sent copies of the aforementioned games for the purpose of reviewing the stick. No idea really though, as I have never gotten anything to review.

OK. First let me say that I have been in contact with the manufacturer regarding a few problems I have been having in regards to drivers and software on the G940. We are working those out before I post the final review.
In relation to "commercial stuff" maybe you should take up this topic with Fugger. I am assuming you don't like the Crucial banner, or any other banner that is at the top of these forums either. Do you think that this kind of website gets run for free? "get that G940 review you have been talking about for months now up, before's its onto a new version"... When it's done, it's done. Can't say that you will be a motivating factor by any stretch of the imagination.
As far as the games are concerned, they are NOT bundles, I ran across some great deals on them, so I bought extra copies. I am not getting paid to give stuff away I bought with my own money. I appreciate the people reading my posts and reviews, and that is why I plan on having a few contests to win them in the XS Contest section. There is nothing "commercial" about what is going on here. I appreciate Xtreme Systems, and know alot of people on here. It's a great community. I am giving something back, that's all.

If its not too much of a pain, can ... You talk about your Reviews, you talk in the past tense ... I might have missed it, but I've never seen one of your Famous reviews before?
Post one of of your past review's Please
Though I'm sure you will find an excuse, not too?
You reek of spam, sorry.
WHAT?
What you have is a final release ... who exactly are you talking with and dealing with from Logitech? with your supposed (long since reviewed, killer review?)
You paint an ugly picture of Logitech in slow support, when most people have the exact opposite experience from them.

man that black shark looks amazing! I cant find it anywhere local f/s are not popular in VT they are hard to find. I've been eyeballing that logitech setup and am pulling the trigger very soon! been playing F/s since i was in 8th grade!
Sorry to pipe in here but you obviously aren't aware of the shocking issues with the G19 keyboard and the sheer lack of any fix from Logitech (who have bumped it back to the motherboard manufacturers).
Yes Logitech products can be great (I love both my G15's, rev1 and 2) but my G19 has been sat on the book case for months now because it just wasn't usable (laggy, repeating characterssssssss (you get what I mean)).
Not really ideal when you're playing an FPS or the like.
To have a clearer idea on the scope of the issue with the G19 have a look here

Oh and I am Wolf823 on that forum.
I can imagine that if there are problems with the Logitech product and it's USB2 related that's why there may be a delay in it getting released (assuming thats what the issues are).
Don't get me wrong, I love the Logi products but they certainly aren't infallible when it comes to releasing unreliable and unusable (expensive) products.

Well, since you are lazy and do not want to do the work for yourself, here they are. My reviews are famous? Thank you. Did I offend you in some way on these forums? I wish you would find other things more constructive to do with your comments than to criticize me and calling me a "spammer". No spamming going on at my end. Look at my posts, look at the amount of reads. What have you done on these forums lately to be any kind of help? Unbelievable. Move on already.....

Trying to get in touch with Saitek proves to be equivilent to getting "Nessie" to smile and say cheese...I sure would like to put the X65 up against the Logitech G940...Anyone have a contact that actually reads their mail?

Thanks for the review D-N. I had been thinking about buying an X52, but after seeing this, I might have to change my plans.
