Superb twisty...I'm on #2 and have #3 in stock here near my rig just in case they stop selling this gem.  #1 lasted about 18 months.
Aboslut worth the money.

Super stick.  Good feel.  Lots of buttons.  It also works with the TARGET software meaning you can layer each button or have them perform some dot commands.

It's been mentioned in at least six different threads on this Hardware section during the last year. I have one, I know a bunch of others who have one. One thing in common: We love it. Definitely worth the money.  :joystick:

I've got one. My only gripes are the button layout and the tiny throttle slider. But I absolutely love the feel and percision of this stick. I wish TM would update the Hotas-X with the T-16000 mechanical components. That would be a perfect stick.

+1 . How many of us would it take to assure them that we'd buy a gazillion of them if they ever made such a Hotas?

I use one.  Works fine.  Wish there were a few more buttons on the stick itself.  Other than that, fine stick at a fine price.

I used the right side buttons for things like mode buttons so you can click into mode 3 and 4 in AH or use target to set up three layers.  Or like salvo buttons.  Any non-action type button.

You might consider a Cougar panel then you will have tons of buttons.
