It may be for beginners but I have been using one of the predecessors of this stick, the T Flight Hotas X for over 10 years now. We all may dream about being rich one day but realistically that doesn't happen, so my budget simply never increased. Fortunataly it still does the job and was built well enough to last this long without any problems at all. Mine has a switch on it to select between pc or ps3, tells you something about how long ago these things have been designed. Amazingly you can still buy the model I've got new for around $70. To anyone who's been using keyboard or a controller up to this point, would definitely recommend.
Hey Q8, I had this one probably 8 years ago and as an entry-level HOTAS I loved it! My favourite feature was the rudder 'rocker' axis on the back of the throttle, which in my opinion is the best possible substitute for rudder pedals. I actually wish more intermediate offerings had this feature instead of the rudder twist.
Thanks for the video. 05:15 I like the idea of a button that either fires missiles or contacts ATC. Don't want to get that the wrong way around :D (Just a bit of fun, nice video).
Great review my friend , I had this setup years ago and it served me well. The rudder rockers are especially valuable to someone just starting out in Fltsim without spending a great deal. I have always liked Thrustmaster as they offer function with real value
I have a logitech attack 3 joystick, it's old. It worked well for google earth flight simulator and MSFS X but it just doesn't cut it with MSFS 2020 - it cannot keep the plane steady in the air; I have to get the autopilot engaged otherwise the plane is very uncontrollable and I crash - I've messed with all of the sensitivity/reactivity settings with no luck. I'm gonna buy this one after your great review and actually showing the joystick in use with MSFS 2020. Thank you for taking the time to do a thorough review.
My experience with this. My first hotas was a T. flight 4 the version releasef for ps4 and pc back in the days, around 2017-2018. I used 4 of these until I upgraded for a twcs and t16000m hotas + pedal combo. Every one of these broke after a few months, longest was about 6 months. It doesn't have proper shielding around the potention meter for the twist axis, so alway had false inputs first on that. The soldering is very thin, so cables can broke off very easly. I doubt the t. flight one is any different from the older versions. My advice is save a little more and buy a better hotas. This hotas is poorly desinged. Only scenario in which I can recommend this is if you buy it from a retailer with instant replace policy. The store I bought mine from didn't have that, also was a shady company, changed name and everything after my replacement for the first hotas arrived, so after that broke (the second one) it was really hard to find and contact them and had to wait 3 months for my 3rd hotas (second replacement). After my 4th hotas broke I just gave it up and bought a better one.

Nice
Im in between purchasing this one or the pxn 2119 and I’m not sure which to get since they’re both around the same price
They need to sacrifice 1 or 2 buttons and put trim wheels on these damn things
Xcite they sell it 44kd
Expensive in Kuwait
