I have modded my Cyborg FFB stick to a full length size, to give me the feel I had a control column in my grasp that my arm could use, not just my wrist as was the case with the stick out of the box.
This has been both easily accomplished as well as one of the best modifications/additions to gaming - for me.
From doing this I learnt the height of your stick needs to be adjustable, as everyones set up is going to be different.
Force feedback is crucial for me. I wouldnt buy a stick without it. No matter how good looking a stick is, the immersion factor is gone without FFB.
I do like a solid and weighty feel on the stick/column although materials dont concern me too much as long as the feel is there.
Authentic looking buttons/switches +1. No good on the base tho.
Selling interchangeable sticks for generic base is a great idea.
Most importantly, as you will be well aware, its not just the flight simmer who you have to sell this to, its more his other half.
So keep the cost down or you'll join the ranks of the other exclusive fanatics.
