IMMERSION'S TOUCHSENSE TECHNOLOGY TAKES CYBORG 3D FORCE STICK TO 100% DIRECTX

LOS ANGELES, CA (November 12, 2001) - With the newest TouchSenseä technology from Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ: IMMR) packed into a powerful processor, Saitek's Cyborg 3D Force Stick delivers 100 percent force feedback to PC gamers.  Designed with dramatic sky-blue backlighting, the new stick features Saitek's almost unlimited
programming power.
Thanks to the most advanced force technology available, PC players receive the most realistic and varied force experiences; they can actually feel the action on the screen with the new Cyborg 3D Force Stick.  Whether it's the recoil of the laser blaster or the shock of hitting an asteroid,  the experience of touch takes the game to another dimension.  The new processor delivers up to ten force experiences simultaneously. 
Like the original, award-winning Cyborg joystick, the Cyborg 3D Force Stick is equally comfortable for left- or right-handers, with dual left/right hand throttle.  The 3D Rudder Twist on the handle increases the realism in flight sim games
but the stick is also great for racing games where force effects are prominent.
 The new stick comes with multi-features including: four thumb buttons, four base buttons, Rapid Response Trigger, 8-way POV Hat Switch, lever throttle, and 3-D twist.  A USB connector allows for simple "plug and play" on Windows or Macintosh.  While competitive sticks may cost as much as $100, the Cyborg 3D Force Stick will be available in time for the holidays with a suggested retail price of only $60.  For more information contact Saitek at 1-800-452-4377 or visit online at www.saitekusa.com.
Saitek Industries initially built its reputation on smart products, establishing itself as the market leader with its Kasparov chess computers. Saitek has continued to build on its success with award-winning game controllers for the most popular
gaming platforms. Saitek's vertical integration has allowed the company to react quickly to emerging market demands and ensure the highest quality control standards.

SAITEK ROLLS OUT THE R440 WHEEL WITH IMMERSION'S LATEST TOUCHSENSE TECHNOLOGY
Powerful New Processor Delivers 100% Force Feedback

LOS ANGELES, CA (November 5, 2001) - PC driving games will hit the desktop roads and tracks like never before with the full range of senses behind Saitek's new R440 Force Wheel. 
Loaded with the latest, most advanced TouchSenseä technology from Immersion Corporation (NASDAQ: IMMR), the new Saitek wheel is 100 percent DirectX, able to use all of the force feedback commands in games.  PC racers will feel everything from the crunch of gravel to the bump of a wall. 
In addition to a "plug and play" connection for easy set-up and play, the R440 processes the force in a chipset, rather than in software, resulting in hardware acceleration.  Saitek's new processor has 16-bit positional axis data ability to deliver higher precision.
For an $80 street price, the R440 comes packed with features including four wheel-mounted buttons, two gearshift paddles, and unique gas and brake pedals. To reduce slippage when drivers switch from gas to brake, Saitek has developed
a heel grip system.
"Driver complaints about foot slippage are almost universal," said Nicholas Gibbons, managing director of Saitek.  "By actually holding the heel in place, we will be able to reduce foot fatigue as well as slipping," he said. The R440 Force Wheel will be available in time for the holidays at a suggested retail price of $79.95. For more information, contact Saitek at 1-800-452-4377 or visit online at www.saitekusa.com.

Kentia Hall, Booth 6533

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 15, 2001--Saitek Industries unveiled a lineup of gaming products at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) that lets gamers feel the full force, with pricing that offers the best value in the market. Continuing to support the importance of PC gaming, Saitek rolled out three new force feedback products: a racing wheel with the latest TouchSense(TM) technology from Immersion (NASDAQ: IMMR), the Cyborg 3D Force Stick and the Touch Force Optical Mouse Pro.

On the console side, Saitek expanded its PlayStation2 line with two new pads and a racing wheel. The company also announced Digital Spark, a new brand of Game Boy(R) Advance accessories designed in partnership with SGRL in Barberton, Ohio. For Xbox, Saitek will offer a joystick, wheel, two pads and a snow board-shaped controller.

"The Saitek philosophy of only offering a product when it represents the best value at any price point really shows in our E3 lineup," said Nicholas Gibbons, managing director of Saitek.

Sticks

It takes a great controller to stick it to the competition, but that is what Saitek unveiled in the new Cyborg 3D Force Stick. In addition to Immersion's latest patented TouchSense(TM) technology that allows gamers to feel the action on the screen, the newly designed Cyborg features dramatic sky blue backlighting. The Cyborg 3D Force Stick is designed for use by left- or right-handers and comes with Saitek's almost unlimited programming power.

Also new:

-- ST50 Action Stick and Throttle: lightning-quick response,

smooth-action rotary throttle and a futuristic design. At $10

retail, it's the first serious stick at this price point.

-- SP550 USB Stick and Pad Fusion: An all-new USB product that

switches between controllers without disconnecting, perfect
for first-time players and those who enjoy a wide range of
games. ($30 retail)

Mouse

With more and more games requiring mouse and keyboard, Saitek's new Touch Force Optical Mouse Pro is a necessity. It's optical, eliminating the need for pads and cleaning, and the very latest TouchSense(TM) technology from Immersion lets players feel the game in a new way.

Wheels

Driving games were not forgotten as Saitek rolled out two new wheels. Featuring Immersion's latest TouchSense(TM) technology, the R440 Force Wheel, comes with an outstanding new pedal design. Unique to this new wheel are heel grips that put less stress on the feet and reduce slipping when going from gas to brake pedals.

Delivering the most realistic racing experience available on desktop, the R440 comes with four wheel-mounted buttons and two gearshift paddles. ($80)

Also new:

-- R100 Sports Wheel: A newer design of the popular R100, a

single arm clamp saves desk space and sturdy pedals offer high

stability. The only high quality wheel at a retail of $29.95.

-- R80: With a street price of around $20, this wheel is great

with street racing titles and appeals to gamers who are not

accustomed to pedals, or who don't want pedal clutter.

Flight Controller

The X36, which has long been considered the world's most advanced flight controller, has been transformed into the mighty X45 Digital Stick and Throttle offering the most realistic flying experience. This new model has a host of features to make it more like the real thing complete with covered missile launch button, backlit A and B buttons on the stick and D button on the throttle. The X45 comes with the latest programming software, at the stunning price of only $79.95 retail.

Pads

New games are great, but learning commands can be tough, and that is what the P8000 Command Pad simplifies. Actually a keyboard for gamers, the P8000 comes with the capability of designing special, command cards tailored for the player's games. It also offers high-speed surfing, one-touch site launch and quick and easy e-mail. Can be used on lap or desktop with the unlimited programming power of Saitek's Smart Technology.

Also new:

-- To keep the challenge in the game, a new USB "plug and play"

Action Pad (P150) has been introduced for $15, making it a
perfect choice for any PC gamer. Features include six fire
buttons, two triggers, eight-way D-pad and removable
mini-joystick.
