3. "RE: random hardware rec"
In response to message #0
 
   Speaking of hardware, I got a pretty decent deal on a lightly used Saitek X-55 joystick-throttle combo... and then found out that they haven't got Windows 10 drivers for it yet. It still works with Elite Dangerous, but the configuration software doesn't work, so I can't turn the LEDs off... and of course the buttons and switches aren't labeled the same as they are in the E:D control config screen, so I can't tell if anything I'm trying to assign has been used for something else unless I set it and get the "well, that WAS 'retract landing gear' but whatever you say" error message.

(Which, while I'm grumbling, works backward from the way it should, or is it just me? "That's already bound to such-and-such" strikes me as a more helpful message than "you just unbound such-and-such". Or hey, it could even ask for confirmation! Radical, I know.)

Anyway. It was a good deal, but it was still fairly expensive for a toy, and I don't know if I actually like it yet. For that kind of outlay I was hoping that wouldn't be a decision that required a lot of thought.
