Has anyone heard about the new Saitek yoke that is to be available in August? I'm wondering if there are any previews available to comment on how it compares to the CH yoke.

Here's the link to the new yoke:

They make class "A" products and this looks like one of them. This is the first time I've seen it.
Nice link, thanks.

Looks like you will be able add additional throttles as well for $50 each.

Theres some more infomation regarding the yoke here:

http://www.overclock3d.net/news.php?/input_devices/saitek_announce_new_gear_for_flight_sim_fans/1

Komplett are taking pre orders in the UK. £97 for the yoke and quad plus £39 for an additional quad.

Think I may be placing a pre-order.

Looks like Saitek have a real CH killer on their hands.
