Absolutely none, but then again there is nothing stopping you from playing the sim with only a keyboard, though I dare say not many would.

Value is all relative, There are plenty of HOTAS system available at various price points. I Justified my purchace by selling off a lot of old hardware that was filling up my cupboard. Without a major purchace like my Warthog, it probably would have stayed in my cupboard for another year or two and then got put into landfill. So in a way it was better for the plannet, you know reduce, re-use, Recyle!

I find the HOTAS Warthog controls quiet easy to use , when I was using a combination of my Fighter stick and Key commands it wasn't. Was it worth it? It works for me. I think so.

Cheers!
