Logitech Acquires Saitek

Quote by Logitech:

"It’s an exciting day for Logitech G. We just acquired the Saitek brand and the Saitek line of flight, farm and space simulation game controllers. They’re the go-to products for anyone into games like Elite Dangerous, Eve Valkyrie, Star Citizen, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Farm Simulator.

There’s a whole list of reasons why this makes us excited…

First, these products are just great. We know a thing or two at Logitech about what makes a gaming product stand out and these products deliver exceptional experiences. Don’t take our word for it – we’ve seen the Saitek fans on the forums.

Second, simulation games are cool and getting cooler. Whether you’re into driving, flying or exploring space, there are fresh new titles available and more to come. Some of these titles are even VR enabled and we believe that dedicated controllers will stimulate and enhance the total VR experience.

Last and most importantly, we’re excited to be a bigger part of the simulation community. We already make gaming wheels for the driving simulation market and this new line of products will provide an even more complete experience. We care about this space and want to do right by its fans. We have a vision that will take these products further, faster. Stay tuned for future updates, as we further integrate the Saitek products into our overall Logitech G portfolio."

LOL Red I was wondering the same thing & went to the Saitek website to see what a farming control looked like.

I play Farming simulator every now & again but use a gamepad for PC to play it. Running the logging booms as show in the vid is a royal pain with a mouse!

Read you loud and clear Longknife! Beacuse I also have Farming Simulator 2015 too aswell as Eurotruck 2, and tried playing it with a gamepad too.  First, it´s a real pain to configure the gamepad, and it´s really not the best way to go.  I bought off a friend a semi-new Logitech GT driving force wheel which works good for that, but the problem I have is that once mounted, half the wheel get´s in your way of the monitor in front of you.  So if your playing other games it´s a pain.  It´s a bummer cuz I enjoy Eurotruck 2 and FS 2015, aswell as Asseto Corsa  :(  Allthough Asseto Corsa is a bit of a pain cuz you have to know real well the track you are playing in order to get somewhere (win) a race, and the IA is on the tuff side.
