I decided long ago that since my right hand laid on the shifter 90% of the time, replacing it with a joystick was a perfect solution for me (as well as being a real eye catcher at car shows.) I currently have a CH F-16 CombatStick in my hot rod and a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro in my luxury car and am working with Saitek on implementing their X-52 (joystick only).

The touchscreen is primarily for passengers or text input. But even that is limited cause my gal hates to see fingerprints on the screen and with the cheatsheet laying in front of the stick, she uses it, too. I also have a wireless mouse that I used while outside the vehicle until I got Z2 Remote2Pc for my PPC phone so now I could be on the other side of the world and see my screen and control my PC via my phone.
