Not much of a clue here but those Saitek ones look pretty ace. Best to read up on some reviews about them though.

The Saitek Cyborg Evo is highly recommended around here, although I have never used it myself. It retails at around £30.

If its for flight simms you can't really go wrong with a saitek X52.
Takes up a lot of desk space though. I got rid of my X45 (predacessor to '52) for space reasons and got a saitek cyborg evo wireless. excellent stick.

What's your budget? If you want the best then the CH Products Range is probably where you need to be looking. Otherwise the Seitek sticks mentioned are good, the X52 / X52 pro if you can't afford the CH equivalents and the Cyborg Evo if you're on a budget.

I have the X52 and it's fine but for the type of flying I do the CH Yolk / Pedals / Throttle quadrent would be ideal.

Definitely go with the X52, works well in other games (such as X3) too.

However whichever model you decide on, would advise ensure it has a throttle. Trying to control engine settings by keyboard, especially on the "heavy iron", is a right royal PITA.
