As many of you know, I've been using TSW wheels from the days when the late Trevor Thomas used to make them in his garage. I think they are the best, period. I have been looking around for a keypad and visited TSW's website today to see if they made them and found that they have just started making a cockpit:

Be aware that there is a big error on the webpage where you order the cockpit. I was sure that there was no way they could ship it for fifteen bucks, especially for overnight air, so I called them and got Dave Jr on the phone.
He said I was the first person to put in an order for the cockpit, and he wasn't aware of the error on the webpage. So I gave him the information and he called me back after checking into the shipping charges. The final charge is $500 including shipping for the cockpit with the keyboard and mouse stand, but not the montor stand or the pedal hanger -- I didn't need those since I'll just be roling the cockpit under my desk when I'm racing and moving it off to the side when I 'm not.
So if anybody was thinking about getting a cockpit setup, I highly recommend that you visit the website link above for images and descriptions of the cockpit and give TSW a call for more information or to place an order. Dave Jr said that they hope to ship at the end of this month and, of course, they won't bill your card until they actually ship the product. And you can cancel anytime.
Dave Jr also said that they sent a prototype to Sim Racing Tonight and they're supposed to have a review on their webcast shortly.
