I want to buy the best joystick out there for maximum around $200. But the problem is that I am lefthanded so the stick has to be good for both hands (or only the left 🙄 ), this also means I cant have eny of that HOTAS stuff sadly 😞 (this is the first time beeing lefthanded feels like an disability).
Enyway I think the best ones would bee Saitek Cyborg Evo Force or CH Products Flightstick. Does enyone know which is the best.
Does the Flightstick have Force Feedback, I cant see eny info of that. If it doesnt have it then why is it regarded as one of the best sticks.
If enyone knows of eny other stick jsut as good, then please post that aswell!
Thanks!

The best controller, in my opinion is the CH Flight Yoke. It's made to be flown with the left hand just as a real aircraft is. The CH Throttle Quadrant and the CH Rudder pedals are great additions to the yoke. I have all three and I love them.

PS Force feedback is an old feature that is overrated. Most new controller don't have it. It was more trouble than it was worth.

Ok, thanks, good info but a joke isnt really what Im looking for, I want to fly choppers aswell så thats why Im looking for a stick. Do you have eny experience of the Flightstick or do you or enyone else know where I could read a good review of the it and the Saitek unit, maybee a comparison of the two?

I think your instincts where right, the Saitek Cyborg Evo Force seems to be the best for a south paw. 🙂

thanks for the link and thanks for the "south paw" reference, it makes it all sound a little bit cooler 😀

I have the Saitek Cyborg Evo and it is a great flight stick, i have'nt tried it but everything seems to be adjustable for right hand or "south paw".

Cancel that! I just removed the handrest and this does'nt adjust the other way around as i thought it did! You can remove the hand rest, but then you would'nt have a comfy rest (if you know what i mean). 😳

You meen it seems like it is adjustable for both regular booring right hand configuration and cool Rocky Balboa style south paw configuration! 😀

thanks for the feedback though!!

OK, thanks for the effort, I will go by a shop and try it. Thankfully the saitek stick is quite usual on display, where as the CH is only available in webshops where I live.

Is it possible to combine a Saitek joystick with a CH Throttle or pedal set?

ok, thanks for all the support then, it was very useful. I think Iv made up my mind on the Saitek unit, but I will first go and check it out in a store.

I might even become a member here, this was my first visit.

It's always nice to hear from someone new! 😀

are you a baseball fan CRJ?

No, not really, I just remember hearing the term. I spelled it wrong, it should be southpaw. 😂
