you get used to what you buy, but I would not consider pedals without toe brakes.

Thinking I might make the transition from twisty stick to pedals in the rudder department. Anyone make that transition without issues? I've been twisty since the day MS came out with the Sidewinder  in about '93-ish? I have my forefinger hovering over the buy button for  the VKB Mark V's and just wondering if it's worth trying to use the more traditional way to utilize rudders. Anyone find it easier to stick to twist?
Also: anyone use or have difficulty with the Mark V's?

I'd run a Neilson Poll to find what people prefer but I don't know how.
Thanks

I transitioned from Twisty to HOTAS back in 98 when Ack Ack gave me a full CH Products rig at AWCon98. It took me a week or two to make the transition, never gone back. I think it's more of a muscle memory issue than anything else, but it's probably only going to take a week or two for to adapt.

You're probably right as I try them for only an hour or so every once in a while. But I'll be flying a bunch more now so I should pull them off the block over at the Discord. Was gonna put them up for sale here too but nah, I'll give 'em one more chance.
