This is definitely a year when we could use more buttons.

Last year, we had a CH Product gameport throttle with one axis and 15 programmable buttons (as long as you didn't need to push two at a time). Rather nice, but it had an alarming tendency to lose it's settings during a competition, and considering that reprogramming it required a DOS boot disk and a computer with a floppy drive, gameport, and ps/2 keyboard adapter, I decided that it wasn't worth the hassle anymore.

This year, I'm using a Logitech Extreme 3D and a chicklet, and w still want more than the 8 buttons...
