This thread is for posting the most autistic purchase you've made in recent history. I'll start because why the hell not
I somewhat recently purchased a VPC MongoosT-50 Flightstick from VirPil that took 6 months to get here, because whenever I buy anything from Russia, Ukraine, Hungary or Poland thats how long it always takes to clear customs.
It was worth the $450 I spent after shipping and taxes, it is by far the best piece of home flight sim equipment I have ever owned. The tactile feedback is exactly what I like, where it gets stiffer as you get to the edge of the limits. Perfectly milled parts means the cams have no unnatural "bumps" that throw off control and the sensors are on par with the ones a lot of modern fly-by-wire aircraft have. I've particularly enjoyed it in DCS and ARMA 3 as it lets you really have precision control of your aircraft/chopper in a way I haven't had with high end sticks from CH, Logitech and Thrustmaster.
Also pictured, my bitchin helmet stand.
So c'mon and share your autism with the class
