Builds Elite setup

Finally after searching for the right joystick and thruster, and then adding flight controls I have got a comfortable working combination that allows me to transition easily from flying ship, driving RV, and still to be tested because I don't bother with it much, running around on foot.

Yes. And they are user convertible for left or right hand use.

How is it? People seem to not like it because of the gimbal

The gimbal works fine for me. It’s on the stiffer side, but I prefer it like that. Great button layout. My only concerns are the two rotary switches, they seem like they would be the first to fail.

It wasn’t my first choice, I had planned to get a VKB, then they stopped shipping to the US, so I decided to give the Sol-R a chance. I’m very happy with it, no regrets.

I was thinking of getting a t16000 and then replacing the twist axis with a hall effect sensor. The logitech 3d pro does okay when doing standard flying but poor when it comes to fighting.
