If you can recommend a good twisty with throttle on it I'd appreciate it.

seems they quit making the saitek cyborg gold which is my current stick..

trying to find a good replacement and the evo has wierd throttle placement.

That looks nice but where is the Z axis control?

In the X52 the z axis (rudders, right?) is "twisty stick" set up, as opposed to the X45 where the rudders were in a rocker switch under the throttle.

The CH USB sticks are the best I've ever used. I've been a long-term CH fan since 1996. I've never been disapointed in the quality, performance, or functionality. You can't go wrong with a CH USB Fighterstick and USB pro pedals. The pedals have toe-brake capability in addition to just rudder (and can be used as throttle and brake in racing games).

I say go CH and don't look back.

I'm happy with my CH setup coprising of a Fighterstick, Pro Throttle, Pro Pedals, Flight Sim Yoke and Throttle Quadrant
