I'm looking for a new flightstick to use with FSX, DCS . I had a Saitek x52 for a long time until it just finally gave out .I really enjoyed that stick . I have been looking at the thrustmaster T 16000 fcs flightstick pack or the Saitek x55, x56 .

I have tried to read the reviews and there all over the place .Some say their great while others say their cheap .

I found a couple of the original X52 sticks that were made before madcaz took over . If I were to get one before there gone, will they work with windows 10 ?

I would like to stay away from EBAY as the last one I got had some issues .

My budget looks to be in the $200 dollar rage .

I have the steam FSX edition .

Please give any and all feedback on any of the stick I sugested or any you would recomend .
Thanks

Since you liked your X52, then you would probably be well served by picking up an X52 Pro from someplace that has a good return policy (just in case there is a quality control issue).

Both models are overpriced actually (e.g. Amazon) due shortage in supply.
Their "real" prices is ~130$ (FCS HOTAS) and ~170$ (X52-PRO).

Tm FCS stick although has good precision in X, Y axes (same HALL sensor of TmW) is very meehh in grip ergonomics, only 4 buttons, no pinky button, half of the buttons in base is in "wrong" side, no practical for use.

Unfortunately no much options in this price range, and even in all price range.
