I'm looking for a joystick for Battlefield 4, anyone got any preferences for less than £50?

That's the one I had in mind, I've seen some good reviews about it.  I'm interested in what else will be recommended.

Saitek make the best joysticks by far, ignore the fact that they are owned my madcatz, the joysticks they make are awesome.

My personal favourite for those budgets: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Thrustmaster-T-Flight-Hotas-Joystick-PS3/dp/B001CXYMFS/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1391535244&sr=8-2&keywords=flightstick

 

You get a full HOTAS setup (the two halves seperate) for a good price, build quality is good as well.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

Their more expensive ones look great, the cheaper ones get rather poor reviews though.

I'm don't really care if it's Hotas or not, I'm not looking for simulation.

 

@brownninja97, @SirRoderick, What would be your choice between these then?  Logitech, Mad Catz, or Thrustmaster?

Well logitech loses by far, i think its between the thrustmaster and the madcatz fly, as i have used the fly 5 multiple times i can recommend it but ive not used the thrustmaster at all so i couldnt rate them, the build quality is pretty solid of the fly 5 however and it has more buttons which is always good.

I would put the Logitech above the Mad Catz one, it has SOME build quality problems. I stick to the Thrustmaster myself for top pick.
