Which Joystick to buy

[Coen020]

Hi guys,

My first thread here so be kind please.

I know there are already tons of threads about this subject, yet it didnt apply to joysticks where i can lay my hands on. (i live in The Netherlands).

As far as i've searched these are the joysticks that i can buy.

T-Flight Hotas X Joystick & Gas Throttle from Thrustmaster



++ It has a throttle which can be detached from the stick
++ It also works on ps3 which is a big pro since i own one
- It's ugly as hell, just look at the banana shaped throttle
- It looks like it doesn't have the option to twist the stick to use the rudder

Cyborg X Joystick from Saitek



+ Dual throttle, which is awesome, of course
+ It looks funny, in a good way
-/+ throttle integrated in stick, then again it's still has a throttle
- also no option to twist the stick for rudder control

T-16000m Joystick from Thrustmaster



+ apperently it's far more accurate then everything else on the market (x256)
+ can twist the stick for rudder
- lame throttle button

The first one appeals most to me, what do you guys think?

they are all about 50 Euro which is about 66 USD, i'm not a hardcore simulator player so this is about the right price for me. of course if anyone knows a stick that is much better for just a little more money please let me know. I just need a stick for SOW, right now i play Il-2 with a lame Xbox360 controller which just doesn't really feels right for flying.

greetings,

Coen
