rudder for flight sim

stefanDB · June 3, 2017

hello guys, I want to play flight simulators with a joystick and pedals for the rudder.

for some reason it is easy to get a joystick for 20 bucks but the pedals are no cheaper than 80, which is way to expensive.

do you guys know a cheaper solution? it doesn't have to be elegant, as long as it works and is cheap. I would even be okay with it if I had to use my left hand to controll it and set up the controls myself.

I don't want to use my keyboard because then it goes to 100% immediately.

Some Joysticks come with Axis for rudder control if you are okay with that.

You can get into DIY if you want, there are a couple of examples on YouTube. However it won't be that cheap either.

You can buy some used / old ones on ebay for cheap - but always look for connection type, some old ones have serial input and you may need a usb adapter.
