Simple really, I have a tight little budget of around £35 and I'm looking for a flight stick to get me started. I've had a poke around and the ones that stand out to me the most so far are the Cyborg F.L.Y 5, Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X and the Speedlink Black Widow. Also I have relatively limited desk space, so it's also something to consider. Thanks you sexy bunch!
At that price level they're mostly the same, so don't give it much thought. I would steer clear of Logitech joysticks though, had a bad experience with a couple of them in the past. Anything with Force Feedback is a bit risky to be honest.
[QUOTE=Black Milano;36820401]I would steer clear of Logitech joysticks though, had a bad experience with a couple of them in the past. Anything with Force Feedback is a bit risky to be honest.[/QUOTE] I've had problems with some of the older Logitech Force 3D yolks where the force would override the twist sending the rudder fucking everywhere, but apart from that all the Logitech stuff I've had has been great. But yeah, steer clear of cheap Force Feedback joysticks, they're notorious for fucking up OP, consider the [url=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-942-000005-Extreme-Pro-Joystick/dp/B002BYONB0]Logitech Extreme 3D Pro[/url] as a good beginner's stick. I still have mine from before I upgraded to the G940, and it's a great, easy-to-use bit of kit. No force feedback or vibration, but you do get twist which is REALLY fucking useful for taxiing and rudder control, and a buttload of buttons, and all for £25.
