A Good HOTAS ?

Dicehunter · 19 Sep 2019 at 15:01

Currently looking for a HOTAS, I don't really have a budget as long as it's not so expensive I have to take out a bank loan

I had the revised X56 from Logitech but the rubberised coating all over it felt horrible and got grimy really quickly no matter how clean I kept my hands.

Ideal would be something that is not glossy plastic or rubberised.

Any input is appreciated.

Thrustmaster Warthog because at that price you should be getting the best and not something with cheap glossy plastic or rubberised coating.

Under £500 would be preferable.

The warthog is a quality bit of kit i would agree with demonix

You would also have to factor in some pedals as the Warthog has no twist.

I'd prefer to keep the kit to a stick and throttle to be honest, Not too keen on peddles.

Warthog is about the best for your budget, after that you can have a look at virpil and vkb.

+1. I got pedals from vkb and they are all metal and great. Warthog can be used on virpil,vkb bases although the vkb needs an adapter.

Tdc slew (tiny mouse nipple) on the throttle is poor so look at ordering an upgrade, just ordered mine and like many wish I’d done it earlier. https://deltasimelectronics.com/
