i'm getting a bit tired of my £15 stick...and need some reccomendations of what to get now

i reckon i'll have around £50...depending on how much my latest upgrade costs me

any ideas?

Saitek Cyborg gets my vote for a cheap stick, of the X45 if you find a second hand one..

Aye, the cybog Evo is a nice stic, can be left or right handed, has many buttons, twist rudder and the throttle on the back. Everything you need tbh

and £25 last time I looked..

Most importantly, it lights up bloo and red!

Saitek X52 if you really want a serious stick....

Mind you, that only lights up blue....

As Bob says, if your are in this for the long term and can stretch the budget a small amount then X52 it has to be.

although it has to be said,,it can take 1 week to set it up, and may detract from your concentration.

But I'm over twice your age, so you'll prollyl be fine in 3 minutes with it.

I'm a single stick man. Tried an X52 for a fortnight...never once ventured online with it, was too damn complex.

Still missing the damned twist rudder from my Cyborg tbh, havent even scratched the surface of config on my 45...

X52 has twist...but the X45 doesn't.

in the end i decided to go for an Evo, as Zak said i needed a new stick fast...

and i prefer single sticks anyway

You heathens...

the X45/52 is just like your single stick jobs, just with a bigger fistful of throttle which you can put wherever you want.

Oh and SHEDLOADS of buttons.

HOTAS all the way. Even configured mine for typing in insults....
