71st_AH_Shamrock Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I am down with that , looks like a nice little hotas
Talisman Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 It is not a force feed-back stick, which is what I had hoped for, so not for me. When are we going to see the release of a good FF stick I wonder. It is a shame the market is not delivering on FF sticks at the moment; I don't understand why not. I am making do with older FF sticks and purchasing second hand items as I need to replace them. I have a few second hand spares ready to go as there is no news of a new FF stick on the market yet. 1

Bearcat Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 It says 264 people hae voted on this .. so now what?
Xenunjeon88 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 It says 264 people hae voted on this .. so now what? Yeah, I'm new to this website, I preordered X55 at Amazon, but at 42% off I would readily cancel and buy from massdrop... That being said, what happens now? the votes have been reached...
Xenunjeon88 Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 I saw someone post to say that the next step: Massdrop would try and negotiate a price with the distributor. I thought the post was in this thread though, not sure what happened to it? Is there a chance Massdrop would fail to get the discount we wanted?
FuriousMeow Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) I'd be surprised if they go for a 42% reduction in cost, regardless of the number of people that vote to buy at that. Saitek would maybe break even, but probably actually lose money. If this were something else like a generic two button mouse, you'd be in luck - but this is a very interest specific device that has a small percentage of individuals interested in it. I pre-purchased already, it'd be nice to get it at 42% less. I highly doubt that will happen though. Is there a chance Massdrop would fail to get the discount we wanted? Is there a chance? No, there's an absolute guarantee they won't get the discount. It's right there on the site. They call up to try to negotiate it, but since this particular item is very particular with a very small market then there's a more than 90% guarantee it will not get the discount. Oh, and Massdrop obviously gets a cut so add that in. Edited February 5, 2014 by FuriousMeow
