MH6~SPARTA~ Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Anyone able to recommend a decent HOTAS setup? I recently got the HTC Vive, and I want to dive into some simulators (DCS World, FSX, maybe even Elite Dangerous). I haven't had a HOTAS since the Saitek X-45 which I didn't like, so I'm wondering if anyone has one they actually like. Saitek X-56 has gotten bad reviews so that's probably out. Maybe a Warthog Thrustmaster or something, though I'd really like a Z-axis on the joystick and the Warthog doesn't have that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I use this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16879337003 It can split in two, has a twist on the joystick for rudder, plenty of buttons, althoug you can always use more with flight sims. I use an xbox controller for elite dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MH6~SPARTA~ Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 Looks pretty good (and cheap!), might pick one up. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHotWaffle~SPARTA~ Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I use the Saitek x52 Pro. I got it to primarily use for Elite Dangerous and I love using it. And inside the key bindings in Elite is allows you to rebind and button from your mouse, keyboard, even to buttons on your HOTAS. I think it work great and you should take a look at it man. http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52pro.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cylawyer~SPARTA~ Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Read the newer reviews on the X-56. I picked one up last week and it works sweeeeeeet!!!!!! Two ministicks make it the best HOTAS for space games. This guy makes a lot of sense (He tears up Corpsealot's review)[i think he might be an engineer on the F35]: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
