Both the HOTAS X and HOTAS 4 are entry-level flight sticks with minor differences, which we'll get onto below, while the HOTAS Warthog on the other hand is an absolute monster that'll set you back a pretty penny. We have five models on this list, three of which are from Thrustmaster, who are the flagship manufacturer in this department. Stock has been hard to come by lately, but hopefully, we'll get some discounts in the Prime Day laptop deals. All of these products are HOTAS - Hands-On Throttle and Stick, if you're unfamiliar with the pilot lingo - which is the industry standard.


These all provide another element to games like Star Wars Squadrons and Microsoft Flight Simulator that either a controller or keyboard and mouse cannot offer.
