I found this old Saitek model that is ambidextrous that could be used by a righty as a second joystick or a lefty with 2 of these.

They come i several variants with eh Av8r-01 being oldest, the 03 being a bit plasticy looking and the Pacific being newest and blue.

Unfortunately, these are rather old now and I think they'd be very hard to find.  No only that, but I suspect that they don't use the latest hall effect sensors, and probably use potentiometers instead.

The T16000M is also ambidextrous, has the same number of buttons/hats on the stick and uses the same hall effect sensors that are used in the Warthog.  It also has a thrust control on the base, but I'm not a fan of those and can't think of anything useful to map it to.  And they're pretty cheap too! :)

The T16000M is also now available as a HOTAS setup.




For around £100 if you hunt around.

I was interested because it was the only other ambi stick I've seen so far. But good you mentioned the use of pots, it would certainly fit in with the devices biggest issue which is calibration.

Not sure but I don't think this version is ambidextrous :sad: If it turns out to be then I'm in.

You're right OB, it's not.  It's just the stand-alone sticks tha are ambidextrous.

I picked up a cheap Madcatz Pacific Av8r stick to try left handed to replace my throttle. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FJ3OMAW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's the PS3 version but I wasn't paying 30 quid more for one at retail.

Joy... new cheap stick arrived and they sent me a PC version not the PS4 version. It also has a twist stick which I wanted specifically for yaw in SC.
