The wingman Extreme feels *awesome* but we've gone through 11(!) of
them.  The design of the hat BITES.  its one plastic part so it breaks
off.   We're not insane with it either... the quality of that part
just sux.  If it wasnt for that, this joystick would truly rock!

(Too any logitech lurkers out there: why cant you just make that a 
die-cast part and solve the problem?!?!?!?!)
