I have a Saitek X-55, so I'm not hurting too badly on buttons, but it would be nice to delegate a few things.
Would be kind of nice to have it talking at me during boring stretches in supercruise, especially as I'm finding Radio Sidewinder getting more and more repetitive. On the other hand, I play with headphones mostly because any sound in my apartment will be heard by my neighbors (and to get the volume to where I can hear dialog well, the explosions might actually blow out windows), and vice versa. So barking spaceship commands at my computer might feel very awkward.
I have the X55 too plus Voice Attack plus I use ED Tracker...a lot to plug in/set up before I can even play, without even talking about TeamSpeak and my tablet lol. Although its nice to use the buttons on the stick/throttle, its just as nice sometimes to say "prepare to dock" and have the landing gear automatically come down & landing lights come on
The one thing you might find mildly annoying is that while you can get the voice responses via VA (I use the HCS Voice Pack), this happens sometimes at the same time as the games in-built voice responses. I think you can turn those off though, but I prefer to have them on just "to be safe".
One thing you might like to do is to set up a series of music tracks via Voice Attack so I can say "play track 3" and it'll play an MP3 music file
or "play random" and it'll play a random track from my selection of good space trucking music.
I don't suppose it's powerful enough to somehow control Pandora in an off-screen (minimized?) browser window?
