Watch A $5,000 Game Controller Land A Plane In Las Vegas [Video]

Why spend mere hundreds of bucks on a elaborate flight stick on your flight simulator needs once you can spend thousands on Saitek’s Procedure Trainer, an insane collection of instrument panels, yokes and rudder pedals?

Mad Catz is showcasing the most recent, impressively expensive Pro Flight controller manage from Saitek at CES 2011, a staggering pile of panels, switches and controllers that demands 18 USB ports and charges a groovy $5,000 USD. The complete rig, as seen here, supports two flight yokes, up to 10 LCD instrument panels, two radio panels, a backlit information panel, rudder pedals and more for the last word in flight simulation at home.

Not included in that $5,000 fee is a TV or PC, however, so dig a little bit deeper.
