the gamecontroller menu has a testing menu for every controller yes. but may show different numbers, you have to test that (and maybe the device itself brings its on config/test menu which replaces the windows one. dunno about that though, or lets say if that is still allowed by ms. was a windows xp thing but worked with most the software of the devices on vista and 7 too)

Ordered
Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals
T.16000M FCS Hotas Joystick
i've had the pedals before, they're decent enough.
next order will be Playseat Air Force
a big reason why i sold the HOTAS warthog setup i had some years ago was that i was lacking a good spot to place it, it takes up quite a lot of space + it gets uncomfortable if you don't have a really ideal spot for it.
Next step is clearing out a small room (it's a big closet) to use as dedicated VR/flight sim room.
what's your HOTAS setups? pics if you have 'em!

Hasn't Saitek always been absolute garbage given they were owned by Mad Catz? Or did Logitech actually fix the quality issues.

when i googled 5'ish years ago those were the pedals that came up as recommended (going through forums etc) and i bought them, they worked well enough for me, no issues..
goggled again and they come up again, good for the price etc. guess we'll see.. maybe i was lucky last time.. i don't think so though, they have good reviews overall, like always a few have a issues.

The T16ks are notorious for twist breaking on them. If you end up having to replace it down the road you might want to look into something like the VKB Gladiator NXT EVO Premiums.

When I was looking into getting dual sticks for Star Citizen, I had the dual T16ks for a few weeks and ordered dual VKB Gladiator NXT Premiums last year and the quality difference was night and day and made the T16ks feel like a kids toy. VKB just updated the sticks to the new EVO edition which has a lot more bells and whistles on them and the price is about the same as I paid last year. With VKBs get the Premium edition as it comes with a bunch of extra springs and button options you can change on the stick for only a little bit more money so its worth getting that when you order the sticks.

VKB does have a European Branch.

The T16ks are weird as there are some people that have had them for a long time with no troubles and others have them break in a few months with light use, so I am not sure if it is a more recent issue with manufacturing or if some people are just more heavy handed or a combination of both. There are lots of post and videos though with people doing various fixes to correct the issues when their twist ends up going bad so you will be able to find one that could help if that ends up happening down the road.
