Which joystick do you use?

The Cyborg X has a mechanically built-in dead zone on the rudder axis, which is a bit annoying, but does have an additional axis and buttons. I am persevering since I did buy the damn thing, but still prefer the older one due to its feel and accuracy. Hopefully, it will prove as durable as the 3D Gold.

I would love a HOTAS set-up, but unfortunately am a bit limited for space – the same reason I haven’t replaced my Momo with a G27.

I'm left handed so Saitek joysticks were my choice for a long time. Unfortunately I am a bit heavy handed so they never lasted very long. I switched over to the Thrustmaster T.16000M joystick and to be honest I've never regretted it. However, the I don't like the feel of the fire buttons and the twist and throttle have much shorter throws than my old Saiteks. I own CH pedals and a Saitek throttlq quadrant so I don't use the joystick twist and throttle.
