1:21 Might have needed that! Have to run 3 7 port USB externals (=extra cost, and well, one of them has 3 charge-only ports) not having to un- and replug things constantly. Modern boards and also cases have a way to little amount of type A ports nowadays, which sucks. I had a total of 16 on my old rig (8 on the back, 2 on U3S6, 6 on the case front), where I constantly had to swap, and I literally downgraded to just a little more than half of that (7 on the back, 2 on the case front). Now I'm having to run external hubs with cheap Chinese power bricks that have clearly audible coil whining when nothing is drawing power from them (just like DELL and HP laptopt power bricks do BTW)... at least I can switch each port on/off now separately, which is cool - but those things have to be somewhere *coughcablcoughmanagcoughmentcough* - I mean, I'm fine with my setup and thinking of it, having those switches is better than plugging and unplugging my flight sim input devices all the time.

2:41 TOMCATS!
6:03 "Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro, probably the best joystick of its time" - yeah, the best one today is the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2, hooves down. Still rockin' it, can't live without FFB and Logitech's attempt with the G940 in 2009 just sucked, sadly. Nothing to be seen since then...
6:23 They should push it hard again, but their latest FS doesn't even support it anymore... :/
6:57 I still do, such an great asset! I loved playing XvT and XWA as well as Freespace 1 and 2 with that thing. Had a "spacy" feel to it, it worked great any you don't really need distinct yaw/roll axes in space unless you're trying to dock properly like in E:D. Just the d-pad wasn't that great, it almost always registered the corners even when you just tried to hit up/down/left/right. Well, mapping things with a 45° tilt (so the corners actually were the simple straight directions) fixed that for me. Actually I usually just mapped the corners as if they were buttons. If you actually had to use the d-pad as such, it really was terrible, but luckily I never needed that for my stuff.
8:28 I may repeat myself, but... TOMCATS!
