- If it's possible to get the three parts apart (I mean, if it's not a solid pack you can't arrange as you wish).
¿Why? I've been making a playseat, its been a hard job, i've had a dozen of joysticks and i don't want to rearrange the whole layout because of this. I like it, but not that much.
- If the screen works with a standard set of orders i can use to translate to other games (EG the display of the logitech devices).
¿Why? Well, it's always useful to have a display on the playseat, but if i can't use it with anything except mechwarrior, it is a little bit expensive.
- If the handle has a (lockable or not) twist control.
¿Why? as i said, I've had a lot of joysticks, and i'm not going to use it only for this. I play flight simulators, and you need a rudder control. Having a twist handle you'll manage to get into that market because, in the end, It's just a HOTAS with a useful screen.
-The quality/price is good, or at least average.
¿Why? There are a lot of HOTAS controllers out there. Some are cheap ****, some are cheap but average, some are expensive ****, some are expensive but average, some are expensive and good, and then there's the G940. If the price of the device (And remember we're talking about a RAZER device) is not too high, i will buy it, because we all know the Razer policies about quality... I mean nobody's going to buy a 300$ controller if the buttons start to fail the second week of intensive use and the force feedback flies out the third month.
I like the controller idea, i really like it, but there are some "If"s for me.

I agree, this is Beta test right? Wonder how many players are running ATI Crossfire setup?
My bet is on very few, but we wouldn't want "that person" in on the Beta test.
Like I said is this Beta testing or let's have our buddies play for free?
Read my CPU-Z
I'm not sure if you're looked around the boards, but most of us have really nice rigs. Having a nice rig doesn't entitle you to a key, they need people with all types of rigs to test the game, especially on the lower end. When you build a game, especially a F2P game, it needs to cater to the masses first and offer top end stuff second. I bet they would rather have 100 people in that just meet the minimum requirement than have 50 people who have insane rigs. What do you think they build the game on? They have quite a bit of data on its potential, they need to know what is going to slow down the game and cause problems for users.
On the topic at hand, I love the way the Artemis looks, but the real test is how it feels. I couldn't care less what the features are if it's uncomfortable or clunky to use.

Why doesn't the Artemis come up with a more unique design? I think they are definitely open for suggestions, I noticed them mentioning that in one of the E3 videos.
Here just an idea make a joystick that has a trackball where the thumb would sit comfortably, kind of like this mouse "logitech wireless-trackball-m570:. This would be used to move the reticle around the screen like you can in MW3, then the whole joystick moves the upper torso.
I don't care if there is a left joystick or not because I'll just buy a ambidextrous joystick. However I really wish the LCD screen was optional because its pretty useless and its going to drive up the price.
Anyone else have design ideas?

Take the keypad and give it a more "mouselike" form factor, like the old MS Sidewinder. Let it twist, for instance to control the torso.
For the screen, a touchscreen would be uber, although probably cost prohibitive. Alternately, let us customize the display so that information can 'ghost' over it. For example, I would like to be able to have it display the radar, and when I take fire a translucent damage indicator screen could layer over it for a few seconds, then fade.
Another idea would to have this thing be modular. That way you could have different options for the left and right controller, or even add a second dedicated display. Plus that way if I spill beer on it I'll only need to replace the component I damaged, not the whole rig.
Just my two filthy lucre.

I want one. Sold my MS Sidewinder a LOONNGG time ago after I finished MW4. Haven't had a joystick since. This would be a great way to ring it back in beside my PC.
