2. On the website it says it supports usb game controller mode, but again zero mention in the manual on it.

I'm wondering if these 2 features were mistakenly put in the documention or what. maybe future firmware update? I saw there is a new firmware update out of Japan last week but doesn't mention either of those two things unfortunately.

Other than that, I really like it. I'm replacing an old 4pls I've been using for like 7 years, so it was time. I could have bought a 2nd hand 7pxr for less but i didnt want to buy another discontinued model, and wanted something new. I didn't really want a touch screen either, although I dislike the jog stick. My only real want in a radio was more than 4 channels so I don't need high end.

I've never owned a high end futaba so I can't compare quality feel, but the only thing I was disappointed about quality-wise upon initial look over is the plastic lanyard hoop. You can flex it with your fingers. Kinda feel like that part should be metal. makes me a bit nervous.

Traditionally the "pv" line was always cheaper, maybe the "v" means value who knows.

I dunno about the first part but the lack of video game support i think is real, I've had my 6PV for 6-7 months since I ordered mine from Japan months before the US release. There is no USB port on the 6PV so I don't know how it would even connect to the computer.
