Hello all! I am looking at making my own space sim cockpit. I am getting into star citizen and I really want a nice cockpit setup. I designed the actual cockpit, but now I need my Peripherals.  So the question: What peripherals do you all like to use?  I was looking at doing a dual joystick setup, but I may do a joystick throttle. I was looking at the Rhino and getting a flight rudder pedal setup as well. So what do you all suggest and use? Thank you all for sharing!

tbh after using the x55 rhino for the past 5 month or so, 

I don't suggest getting it.

get something like a x52 pro or x52,

the x55 is really pricey compared to the quality of the product.

its all plastic, but tbh id need to make a small video to show, but a lot of places (on the stick mostly) cracks when I hold it or move it a bit, the back of the stick, the trigger and some hat switches.

the 8 way hats on the stick itself are terrible for the most part.
