This and a few other videos helped me a bunch while researching. The landscape has changed so much. Originally, I was just thinking x52 but most of the reviews are pretty negative on them now with all the new offerings available.

I ended up going with:

and

https://vkbsimcontrollers.com/products/stecs-throttle-system-mk-ii-mini-plus-us

Super excited to give them a go!
