Need a joystick recommendation

[xcorps]

I'm going to purchase Xplane 10 tomorrow and I want to get a joystick that will work well with it and KSP.

I haven't looked at joysticks in over 15 years, so I would appreciate a recommendation, up to 100$ is what I am willing to spend.

Regards!

Do you have that stick? How would you rate it?

Do you have that stick? How would you rate it?

I had that stick and I'd rate it as follows:

If you need a stick on a budget, it gets the job done. The 'throttle' axis is not well designed for use as a throttle at all.

On a budget, my recommendation is: http://cyborggaming.com/prod/v5stick.htm

If you are willing to blow the budget in the interest of quality, go with this: http://www.saitek.com/uk/prod/x52pro.html

I have flown with both of those sticks and endorse them fully.

i like my ch fighter stick, had it for 7 years so far. its started to get a tad sloppy in the middle a few weeks ago. its probibly fixable. its been great though, plenty of functions, good spring tension, hardware trim, great software, lasts longer than most of my computers do.

of course ive had at least 3 saitek hotases and they all were unusable before they were a year old.

Wow, I thought it was expensive when it was Kickstarted at US$550. Now it's $2000 and I kinda wish I'd jumped into the Kickstarter. $550 I could almost sorta think about affording.
