November 4, 20196 yr Commercial Member Hi everyone! I currently have a Saitek X52, however, I am looking for something smaller as I needed to downsize in desk. I would like to get a new joystick that has a small throttle within the joystick so that it is small. I know this is not what I want but due to space that's what I need. Any recommendations?

The Logitech 3D Pro has the throttle control built in to the base of the stick, they're kind of an entry level stick, but I used one for years before upgrading to a Saitek X52 Pro, and it never let me down. There's really no comparison between the two, but if extreme space limitations are an issue for you, then the Logitech might fit the bill, they are a popular choice among flight simmers, and they're quite inexpensive as well.

November 4, 20196 yr I use the Logitech 3D Pro and have for years. Throttle, 12 programmable buttons + hat switch. X/Y/Z Axis. A nice footprint too for a smaller desk.
November 4, 20196 yr The Thrustmaster T.16000M is a ~$50 joystick with Hall Effect sensors on the X & Y axes, a twist-grip Z-axis for rudder or tiller, 16 buttons, and a small throttle slider. It's also ambidextrous--the handgrip can be flipped for left-hand operation (e.g. Scarebus left seat).

November 5, 20196 yr Find yourself a Microsoft Sidewinder Forced feedback 2. Still the best joystick ever made 😁
November 5, 20196 yr Gladiator MK II. Highly recommended. You can order via X-plane.org store. Cheers. howevr
