Any thoughts on a reasonably priced flight stick?

Recommendations appreciated.
 
Stick

I have a ThrustMaster TFlight X seems ok to me. Sounds like someone is motivated.....
 
I loved my Logitech 3D Pro. Low cost and crisp movement, and mine lasted over a decade.
 
Ditto the Logitech 3D Pro, a good stick which I've used a lot and it's lasted for years. Every now and again I've used Q20 to clean the potentiometers when an axis is unresponsive, and then it's as good as new. :encouragement:

I agree with the 3D Pro. I have had 3 of them over a 28 year period. Only needed to replace one when the cat knocked my coffee cup over into it, fell on the floor and broke some plastic. 2nd time lost in a move, bought a new one.
 
I really love my VKB Gladiator NXT. Very versatile with lots of buttons to program. I pair it with a Thrustmaster TWCS throttle and control both with Joystick Gremlin. The Gladiator has a few LED lights and I wrote a Gremlin plugin (available via GitHub) to match up controls and LEDs so I can get feedback that my gear is down or my air breaks are open. VKB has a new line of throttles but I haven't felt the need to drop my TWCS yet.[h=2]Gladiator NXT[/h]
