thinking about getting a quadstick gaming controller

It's also way more comfortable not having a bulky thing with a strap tied to your face.

True, but I'm willing to accept such a small discomfort for the added immersion.

I've got VR, it was an expensive treat for when I got out of the care home for my first xmas after the stroke
waste though, because being tethered, and using a wheelchair just doesen't mix, since I started having siezures too, the headset turned out to be pretty claustrophic, and triggering, luckily I managed to get the headset off before a siezure would begin, but if I did not manage too, that could pull my PC off the desk, tbh, all that I could play was one handed chess too, you really need to be able to use both hands, stupid of me really!

Q3 with a wireless connection would remove any cable issues and Elite doesn't require any other control that you don't already use while playing in pancake mode, not that it's of any relevance whatsoever if simply using VR is going to induces seizures.
 
I've either owned or borrowed most of the major VR headsets from the Vive, Occulus, Pimax and PSVR range, and my preferred test is to fly in Elite.
The one thing they always fall down on is the pop-up holographic menus. Every one I've tried still shows the text as blury, screen-doored and with chromatic abberation, unless I lean painfully forward to get close enough. The latest PSVR was pretty darn good, but still not good enough for the Elite acid test. It was simpler and easier to go back to 2D with a Tobii.

I'm still very much a fan of VR, especially in DCS, but it's not yet 'there' enough on this key aspect.

If you found that an issue on a Q3 it was set up badly.
 
so, I got the swiftpointZ2 today, it finally arrived, pretty dissapointed tbh, yes it will tilt forwards, baxckwards, andleft/right, but only with the bottom adaptoter that allows this, bbut using that adaptor blanks off the optical lazer that moves the mouse around,totally gutted right now! £151 wasted!!!
in other news, I was too bad with the flight stick to even complete the elite tutorial!
I let my nephew have a go, and once his beautiful brain recalibrated to use inverted controls he went and flew through all 21 rings, completing that part of the tutorial, with no real problems, I think that we both thought that the thrust button gave constant thrust but he soon figured out that you have to do a complete stop then point where you want to go, and then give a burst of thrust, it makes perfect sense now!
all that I have to do is complete the next locking on part of the tutorial, and save it there, and I'm sure the real fun will begin, shooting! which he was desperate to do after flying throuh all the rings

Oh.... well that's a bit of a deal-breaker. I don't recall it being mentioned in any reviews, either.
Can you put a hole in the adapter and use it, perhaps? It's magnetic, so is it easy enough to just pop off when you need to switch to mouse control outside the cockpit?
