I’d recommend upping the budget a bit for the T16000 HOTAS set with the TWCS throttle. This is especially due to the lever axis on the throttle which is handy for rudder control since it saves you from having to control three axes on the joystick at the same time. There’s also a mini joystick on the throttle which the cheaper sets won’t have. You also have enough axes for the classic throttle, propeller and mixture setup, which the X Cub also has.
If that’s no do, then your option are the cheapo Thrustmaster sets (of which T.Flight is your sole option if you are on XBox), or if you want to be more experimental there’s the more recent Titanwolf joystick and throttle if they are available in your area (you can get them on German Amazon for 100€).
This is the cheap version of the ancient VKB Cobra. xD
A little soft springs, but ok for the money. But much, much better then the T.Flight
@CupOJello , if you want to up your budget a bit more, check out the VKB Gladiator NXT series. Has the best price/quality/performance ratio on the market.
Or just TM T16.000/TWCS
Hey all im new and im wondering what a good entry level hotas or yoke would be nothing too expensive or over the top though
Hi @Aiden3352 & welcome to the forums ![]()
I’d suggest reading through this topic to see what others are using:
“Expensive” is a relative term - $500 is nothing to a millionaire, but perhaps 6 months-worth of discretionary spending money to a student! Could you give us a $$ range that you would be comfortable spending?
Here are a few links, in no particular order, that I’ve saved for review whenever I decide to upgrade my current controller hardware. Also, just searching on the terms “controller”, “joystick”, “yoke” etc. will bring up many topics. You’ll be able to ignore some by just their titles, but others may give you some ideas.

Hi SmotheryVase.
Thank you for sharing the links to earlier posts, I really appreciate it.
Re-reading my contributions I do realise that I can bang on about VKB a bit, but having owned (and been repeatedly let down by) various other peripherals from Logitech and Thrustmaster, I absolutely stick by VKB for seriously good quality kit!
Probably nothjng over a thousand or so dollars
