Joystick and throttle (HOTAS) setup

[8bit]

Getting back into flight sims again, interested in a decent HOTAS setup. Not in the market for a £350+ system so that rules out the really high end stuff. Looking at the Saitek X52, X52 Pro and Thrustmaster T.1600M HOTAS.

Any input or feedback on the above much appreciated, also if there are any other contenders worth considering.

I've had an X52 for years. Apart from the coating going sticky it's been faultless.

Thanks for that. Does it take a lot of faffing about to set up for different sims?

Yeah it does if you want each input to do exactly what you want but to be honest that would be the same with any hotas.

Another for the X52 Pro.

The software is a bit faffy at first but the controllers are fairly good kit for the price.
