Do you think there will ever be support for my force feedback joystick? That'd be cool.

I love the consipriacy theories about Mackie. Come on. They are in business. The software has not even shipped yet. I am sure they are concerned about that first before whether the are going to support someone elses hardware. Besides, by putting off that decision they have saved themselves some work. Behringer did the work first. If anyone is mad about no feedback support for the BCR then complain to Behringer. They obviously have done most of the work already. I have always thought that these midi controllers and control surfaces were way over priced for what they are. I can buy a game contoller with buttons and rotary controllers and feedback for less than $50. There is no more hardware in some of the simpler midi controllers for $200 or more. I applaud Behringer for their midi controllers. I bought a FCB instead of the Line6 foot controller for my POD and love it. It is more flexable, can be used to control other gear as well and cost about half. When I first saw the BCF I was hoping that it would work with T2 it does. This may very well be a big factor towards purchasing T2.

I think there's actually a couple of plugins do support them for the modular hosts... Personally, Im hoping to see what I can do with my SpaceOrb controller.

Well to be honest, I suspect the components in the pro audio gear to be much higher than that in consumer toys (you'd be shockewd if you ever priced the kind of 2-axis joystick gimbals RS components stock for robotics and R/C applications, for example... they can start at £75 and skyrocket... and dont even think about the cost of motorised faders... yikes...), and I also think economies of scale have a major impact...

But its always good there are decent budget options out there...

Built like a tank aint they? But think about it; they're a way better build standard than (say) a typical plastic footpedal setup for playing driving games...
