This item has only just become available in the UK, and some people have been waiting ages! But I think more importantly: It's $129 in the US, which converts to about £110* in today's economy. The fact that it is £25 cheaper in the UK given current exchange rates is amazing! But I don't think this will last for long, so I would get ordering!
* This is the pre-order price on Amazon UK...

got mine on Thursday. Looks a bit plasticy but feels good. Might consider dual stick for SC!

Did you get another one for dual in SC? I am looking for that setup myself for 3.0.

You can now pre-order it on Amazon. Price: £109!!!
I'm a big fan of the original T1600M. Pretty much as precise as it gets. I use a pair in a dual joystick setup for elite dangerous most fun way to fly :smiley:.
Does anyone know if the update is anything more than cosmetic?

During my research, I did find that you can get the joystick on its own. Whether this is the case for the UK - I don't know

The main selling point of the T16000 is that it can be made left or right handed. Makes this pretty pointless as the throttle control is left handed only. #wasteoftime

I'm hoping they bring out the stick on it's own, dual sticks is pretty good fun in games, new one on the right, old T16000m on the left, job done.

Be aware that thrustmaster has recently been bought out by Logitech. In day to day this doesn't really mean anything, but it possibly will affect warranty. There have been reports of people phoning thrustmaster about warranty claims and being referred to logitech customer support, only to have logitech customer support tell them to call thrustmaster...

Sure you don't mean Saitek / Mad Catz? They're the ones Logitech bought out.
