... is that a touch screen? LCD screen maybe?

Excessive at any rate.

That's a shocker.

It will be funny to see if someone mods the screen to accept other video inputs.

I'm quite sure that it's just a touch panel, not a touch screen. You'll get your "hit me" message on your TV and instead of touching the screen (as on the cab) you touch the according area on the stick's panel.

For once, I honestly don't think this stick is worth it .. :/

The touchscreen aspect seems really trivial, so I'm not sure why they wold integrate it into their stick. But I may look into the game closer the time.

That's a nice looking stick...too bad I don't have a 360. For what it would cost me to import that bad boy, I could probably buy a 360 locally.

Is Otomedius really worth all the trouble?

Thats really interesting.. Wonder how it performs.

Yeah, its $90, requires you to plug in an official MS wired controller (which is how they're getting around the hardware lockout) so add another $30 or whatever for that . . .

Plus, it lags.

Cheaper to pay someone to mod your existing stick with a 360 pcb.

you know this how?

Because there are a fair number of VF players that, for whatever reason, like playstation pads better than sticks. They've consistently reported that the sniper is too laggy to be usable, and either sucked it up and learned to play stick, or used the hori x360 pad which is apparently slightly less crappy than the MS one.

I personally have not scientifically tested the lag, but I have the means to do so if you're inclined to ship me a sniper
