So am looking to play some space games and plane simulators but i wanted to get a joystick with throttle,  only issue i am seeing is all the joysticks are for right handed people... and i would really like the joystick to be in left hand and throttle be in right... any suggestions?

HOTAS setups with right hand throttle are really difficult to find, at least, i couldn't find any. I've heard of people 3D printing conversions to them to change the shape of the handle, but that may be difficult. It's probably easier (albeit more expensive) to just buy a left handed stick and ambidextrous throttle separately from each other.

I'm keeping everything else the way it was for anyone who might check out my answers in future, but I won't be using LTT.

Just use 2 sticks, forget throttles, what space games? Elite?

I forget the ambidextrous flight stick that still has a lot of buttons like the logitech flight stick

I found the perfect set up but boy is it expensive

This isn't it, but it is ambidextrous, just grab one of those with the Logitech Extreme 3D Pro or whatever for the buttons
