Calling all Flight Simulator People !

Hey people,
I'm looking for a good wireless Flight Sim Joystick/contoller for under 50 bucks... Can anyone point me into the direction of something good ? Thanks.

I would advise you not to go wireless.

That said, I've been using Saitek brand joysticks forever and have no complaints.

Why no wireless ? I guess I don't need wireless.... hows the Saitek X52 ? Are there any other options. I see that I can get the X52 on dell.com for about 100.. not bad.

Not sure about the x52, but I've had the x45 for a while now and it is, by far, the best joystick i've ever owned.

Better luck here??

But yeah, what everyone else said. Saitek FTW.

For home usage, either Saitek or CH Products; Saitek has better quality, CH has more variety. Might try out these people for an idea of what's available across the board.

which saitek is good, that x52 is over 100. any cheaper models that still are good. somebody said the x45 but I don't see that on their website.

 

[novasatori]

you might have to get a 45 used or refurb from ebay or the likes
the 45 and 36 usb are the best ones imo

36usb had really nice color scheme, way better than the 45

 

[Cattlegod]

best one is the xbox 360 controller wired usb

Is this a good deal for the X52, pedals, and FSX deluxe for $207?

 

[novasatori]

seems like a decent deal

but I don't have a x-52/pedals/fsx so I can't say for sure...

I have a Saitek Cyborg Graphite...I think I spent less than 20 bucks on it. Probably a bit too basic for your needs, though.

I have them and they are excellent. This is coming from someone currently earning his real pilots license.

how big of difference is there between the x52 and the x52 pro model?

 

[biggestmuff]

Saitek's products are ugly as fusk.

I own a few CH Products controllers are they work great.
