Not to sure about the pink, although they would look nice with my fuzzy slippers...lol ! Thanks...nice find.

Anyone know if i can just plug in my standard MS xbox 360 headset into the Saitek AV8R-02 flight stick or is an adaptor needed. I heard that someone with the Turtle Beach headset had to buy an adaptor and i'm not clear as to whether or not one is needed for the Xbox 360 headset....thanks !

if its the new type that has a 3mm jack plug on the end it just plugs straight in mate :)

Yeah, if you have this type of headset: http://image.become.com/imageserver/.../thumbnail.jpg You're gonna need an adapter.

^^^ i really wish microsoft would make that old connection again.

those were bar none, the best connections for the headsets. Mainly because the volume/mute is so close to your thumbs, and i do not have to remove a hand from the controller to lower the volume because some idiot retard screaming in my ear.

Try this:

hah wow, i had no idea they made those like that.

Thanks all ! I actually have both the older and the newer Xbox 360 headsets so i'll be able to connect the newer in-line volume model with the Saitek AV8R-02.

My next question is, does everyones Saitek AV8R-02 flight stick have the spring around the joystick visible just below where you grip it ? It sure makes the flight stick look even more cheap in my opinion, and seems they would've used a rubber sleeve or something to cover it. I never noticed it in the screenshots i looked at but mine has it and i wondered if maybe its an older one or not.

That's how it is. A cheap plastic piece of shite.

I figured as such. I think i'm going to return mine since its still unopened and the patch is a ways off. Thanks to all who replied and i now have monoprice in my favorites.

C U L8r AV8R's !
