I need a precise joystick. Up to ~150eur. With lots of buttons, hat, trim, throttle is bonus.

I can't find a thread I recently viewed about them and hotas.

for which purpose? those things arent produced as much as in the 90s and 2000er years. afaik only the hotas from thrustmaster are fine (but expensive). dont deal with the saitek shit.

had a t.flight hotas x, was good enough and you should get them cheap on ebay. 30 euros for used ones, dunno. the new ones are fucking expensive as i said

nope, if you want a decent ffb flightstick with seperate throttle control unit (not only a little slider underneath the stick) you will have to pay 300-400 euros i think. i.e. the hotas wathog -> about 330 euros

edit: shame on me, even this highend thing has no ffb
