Hotas Warthog
« on: October 17, 2012, 04:26:07 PM »
Im using a X52 stick right now and was wondering if the hefty price tag on the warthog is really worth it?  Anyone using it?

I have one and I love it.   The accuracy on the joystick is amazing.  I must say though that I don't use half the buttons on the throttle assembly - there are enough on the joystick and throttle itself to make the rest unnecessary in AH.  It is not a twisty stick though, so you DO have to get a set of rudder pedals separately.

Having used both I can say that the Warhol is hands down the best stick that TM has ever put out.

I got to put my hands on one at a Fry's display. It's lightyears beyond an X52, and I own an X52 Pro. Having said that, it's 4 times to cost of a Saitek.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
