HOTAS Guide

Entry-level

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro (~$30 new)

This is one of the most prolific flight sticks you can buy. It's incredibly cheap and is a great first step into what's otherwise an expensive hobby. It's not without flaws- the calibration degrades over time and the "throttle" is a flappy piece of plastic, but for less than the cost of an Xbox controller it's a worthy buy.

Thrustmaster HOTAS X (~$45 new)

The Thrustmaster HOTAS X is slightly more expensive than Logitech's offering, but it does come with a large throttle and has better sensors in the flight stick. A great option for "casual" flight games, such as Star Citizen and ArmA 3.
