Currently and for years I use the Force Feedback 2 from microsoft.. Its a decent stick, but I know there has got to be better..

Is there a joystick of all joysticks?? Ones with the throttles separate ? Are those the big dogs?

There are many threads on this already but....

I use CH Fighter Stick, CH Pro Throttle, and CH Pro Pedals..... very good quality controls. I recommend them!

I personaly use the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro. You can get it on Amazon.com for $27.99.  You just plug it in to a USB port and start flying. It comes with software also, which you don't have to install. This is a right hand joystick though. And it does not come with a separate throttle, but I don't care. It's still a very good joystick.

I use a Saitek Cyborg EVO, I like it, but I've had it for about 4 or 5 years now and it's beginning to wear out.

I'm entering into discussions with my dad about an X-52 though.  :)

I use x-52, had it a year and half Its pretty good, started to squeek alot and has a little play but still performs fine, I'd like to get pedals but just never seems to get around to it.
Id say if you have the means go with the CH products, if you cant get them get the x-52, and if you can get that go with one of the other saitek sticks.

I'm still using my old Saitek X-45. 3 years and counting. Have one 8 way switch that is starting to act up a little bit but nothing I can't live with yet. When it gets too bad I'll open it up and swap out the switch.
