I'm looking to make myself a HOTAS setup...

 

I want to use a suncom F15 Talon (converted to USB of course, guide available at http://theseger.com/projects/2014/04/converting-old-joysticks/if you're interested. He also has one for the SFS throttle, which i'd use if possible, but they're rare)

 

But that leaves me needing a throttle... What would you guys recommend for a throttle? USB preferably, or easily convertible from gameport.

 

Budget for the throttle, less than 100 USD, including possible conversion costs (bu0836x, HID board, etc.)

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

Just get the Saitek X52 HOTAS. Stay away from the X55, too many issues to be positive.

I already considered that, i'm looking for a throttle that's separate from the joystick as i intend on using a specific joystick

I was hoping for something more high quality.

 

I guess LTT isn't really the right place to ask

Check out the CH Products Throttle (sorry for the bump)

Yea, that's pretty much my only option at this point unfortunately.
