could anybody tell me whats the best stick for left handed people? i've tried the X45 but couldn't get use to using it with my right hand
In this case I would recommend the Saitek Cyborg Evo, it is interchangeable to right/left handers and has a throttle built in the base as well.

Excellent thread - ive just bought a CH Fighterstick USB,its a very good stickbut seems prettyhard to get one in the uk - i had to order online from a pilots shop!
It also looks like its from the 1970's/80's - just like the falcon's controlsdid!

yes that was a good stuck. Unfortunately Microsoft backed out of the PC hardware making business and that stick is sitting on a cloud playing a harp in hardware heaven. Only places i have found it were used sticks on Ebay. To my knowledge it cannot even be special ordered so this stick is offically off the market.

Same here. With the exception I bought it.
I got (finally, after 3 years !) Freespace 2 earlier this week and when I tried to plug my old joystick in, I realized I don't have Gameport anymore. 
So I checked my wallet and went to buy this joystick.
So I checked my wallet and went to buy this joystick.I can tell you - it's awesome! Although it does not have FF, it finds into hand perfectly, the buttons are easily accesible and the software is awesome. You can even customizeHAT... I've set targeting onto it and I am slowly getting my space sim reflexes back with Freespace 2.
I can only reccomend that stick. 12 buttons, with one as SHIFT it reaches 22. HAT that can be customized too and awesome software allowing you to create custom profiles for your games. LOGITECH RULEZ!

Yes i own this stick myself and i highly suggest anyone in the market for a new stick to pick this one up. 12 programabable buttons, good sturdy base, easy throttle access and it feels very good. Software is simple and it is actually the stick devs used when showcasing JTL. I want to give personal testimony on how well it works for JTL but that pesky NDA is hovering over me, lol. I highly recommend it. It's a musy buy.

Very helpful post. Used it to find a replacement for my current joystick since it was sorta crapping out.

I've got an old Sidewinder Precision Pro. It's a great joystick, everything you need and nothing more. I like the layout, its righthanded only, but I am a lefty and still find it very comfortable to use it right handed, but that may just be me. As long as it works with JtL I plan to use it as my controller. For people looking for a new joystick, the new version of the Sidewinder looks pretty nice as well
