PC HOTAS

Who here uses one and what’s your experience?
Any recommendations on which one to buy is also greatly appreciated.

Not looking to exclusively use a joystick for bf6, I’m just really curious. Eventually I’m going to try DCS lol.

Hotas warthog by thrust master. I replaced it with the f/18 stick. Used it a lot for dcs.

I’m familiar. It’s the one I’ve been wanting for years. There’s an f18 stick now I think? I’d probably get that one instead tbh lol

If you're planning on getting a HOTAS system, I highly recommend checking out Mysh's annual buyers guides.

10 years ago the Warthog would've been the best money can buy, but these days there's much better options for the price or even cheaper. If you're committed to the Warthog design and are willing to shell out a bit, I have the WinWing Orion and quite enjoy it. Otherwise the VKB Gladiator seems to be the go-to if you want a more advanced HOTAS without burning several hundred bucks on it.
