MS sidewinder Prec 2 USB

But I'm a minimalist when it comes to mapping stuff to stick.
8 button stick and and only use 3 for normal flying plus the hat.

+1 for the MS stick, mine lasted 10 years and finally died earlier this year. So replaced it with the next cheapest thing a Aviator.  :D

CH HOTAS + pedals. Very happy with a set, though it cost me $800 with delivery, came with a small problem which I had to fix, and now Joystick is close to die and I having problem with it quite often.

But considering how much I used it, and how great and "authentic" the feeling of fly with full CH set is, I never regretted about this purchase.

I use X52
I have clamped the joystick to a tallish speaker stand so it sits in front of me
the throtttle is on a lower speaker stand to my left
very comfy position to fly in..
i was getting sore back and elbows before when they where on the desk

Saitek X-36 and the pedals from a logitech steering wheel for rudder/steering in GVs. Any decent stuff would be wasted on me.
