Atleast 3 other people in my squadron had the same problem after about same use.

Some of those switched to a G940 and most are very happy with it, however, some have replaced the stick with a FFB2 (which they had before buying the G940). But overall, i think the G940 is better then its (or Logitechs) reputation.

I currently use a Hotas Warthog and Simpeds and am very happy with those too, but they are not in your price range.
Thats the kind of feedback I was looking for.Just by reading reviews one could think that some of these products are excellent,but maybe that's not the case for some.My other option would be the CH throttle quadrant but that would cost me like $50 more.Did you have any problems mapping it?And what joystick were you using with the throttle?
