I do not know how to make any use of it. The problem you describe with keys not recognized in Falcon I do not know by experience, but I assume you use AF, while I am using SP4.2. the internal RAM and CPU cycle stuff also is of no interest for me, since I cannot see the HOTAS hampering the sims I run in any way. So I cannot form an opinion on the technical side of things that you mention - I do not have that knowledge, I judge it exclusively from playing experience in everyday simming life. I use several push-or release-dependant macros, also use the ministick for mouseview, for example, and the two POVs for looking around at different height angles. In fact, in IL-2 I never grab for the real mouse anymore, there simply is no need to do so. I am also not missing more buttons on the hardware, since there are already more than enough empty slots to fill, more than I use in any sim. The devices are also unbelievably precise in their axis-movement. these are the points by which I judge the hardware for myself. The technology I do not care for as long as it does not negatvely feed back on system performance (which it doesn't over here). It's all about ergonomics for me. And that is where that HOTAS shines.

Its worse in F4 SP4.2! You wouldn't run across this much though because I program the actual 'real' F-16 controls into my joystick. So if it does a function in the real jet - that exact same button does the same thing in my F4. An example is gun camera activation in the dual stage trigger - If you don't do it right, you will activate the cam, but the gun will never fire - which is a bad thing in a dogfigt - this is because the sim can't recognize the 2 different keystrokes so close together. F4AF fixed this to a point, but it is still there.
