I heard that as well.  Unfortunately I heard not for about 3 or 4 more months.

Looks like they are only making a seperate control panel, not integrating it.

The live help said that they plan to have an integrated one also with the two joysticks.  Wonder what that would run?  Around 200-250.

Would like a slik stick but very costly

I hope that they start selling thier trackball parts on ebay for as good a price as their joysticks & buttons.
I know that they aren't necessarily the BEST parts on the market but they work fine for me!

they will be selling the "parts" separately for the trackball  (presumably both on ebay occasionally and  their site)

*Shrug* so look forward to that...
