 Can experienced MSFS players recommend the best flight sim controls that might be available on Amazon? Trying to fly with a keyboard or my xbox controller is proving very frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Money is not an issue. TIA

What is the environment/setting for your controls?  A blank canvas or an existing table or desk?
