A Great but Slightly Flawed Value
1 of 1 found this helpful The Saitek X45 Flight Stick and Throttle is an outdated model by today's HOTAS standards, but it is the best you'll find if you're on a budget. For a modern setup, you'll pay a premium with the cheapest starting at $100 (Thrustmaster T16000) and the price goes up "significantly" from there. You can easily spend $1,000 on a flight stick, throttle, and foot pedal setup for flight sims and Elite Dangerous. The X45 is great for those not wanting to pay that much, but you make a few sacrifices. The flight stick does not twist for yaw control and the throttle does not have an analog stick like the Thrustmaster T16000 which is almost essential for landing and combat flight maneuvers in Elite Dangerous. You can find workarounds, the pinky trigger on the flight stick allows you to set all kinds of alternate controls in Elite Dangerous adding more functionality to the stick and throttle that otherwise would have. Saitek sticks are not known for their robustness so if you take good care of it and not abuse it then the X45 should last you a long while, or at least until you can save for something with more options. If you have about $50 or so and can't afford anything more than that these older HOTAS models are your best choice.
