PC Peripherals Suggest a good Flightstick to play Flight Sims

[blkrb0t]

Budget: ~5k

Requirements:

• Good grip.
  
• Decent build quality, must last some abuse.
  
• Minimum dead zone at the center.
  
• Proper controls on the stick itself so that keyboard/mouse use is at a minimum.
  

I would be using it mainly for Flight Simulator X. HAWX and other similar games should also be fun to play with it, but the main intended use is for simulation.

I think you can look into these two options -->

http://www.smcintern...mart&Itemid=465 --> MadCatz Cyborg V.1 Stick.

http://www.smcintern...mart&Itemid=465 --> Thrustmaster T.Flight Stick X.

In my opinion the Thrustmaster is better because it supports a lot of established simulators, right out of the box. Rest is upto your preference, Sire.

Hope this helps, Cheers!!

Sorry for the late reply, but I'm not buying these anytime soon. Still need to wait for the 78xx series to complete my rig. But no harm is researching. #ALPHA17 Those look like good sticks, I also went through flipkart and found these other ones. What do you think about them?

This looks a lot more promising, Sire.

On a secondary note, do you play combat flight OR standard flight simulators?

I mostly play flight sims like FSX. My cousin would be getting the X-Plane 10 after a few months, so I can try that out too later. But I also play combat flight like DCS sometimes. Thrustmaster is the only decent joysticks we can get here I guess. Any idea of whether I can get other brands like Saitek etc...?

I'm willing to put in upto 10k now

I'm considering the Logitech G940 now, though it's way out of budget at ~17k. Anyone here have any experience with it? Will keep updated.
