Might be a bit of a niche item, but hopefully it will be useful to some folks out there.
I have been looking for a HOTAS controller to play Elite Dangerous / Flight Simulator X / Rise of Flight for some time. I was considering getting a CH Products Throttle to use alongside my existing joystick but spotted this at PC World for £99.99, less £10 (using code GAMING10), plus a possible Quidco of 10%. Free delivery or you can collect in store.
At this price, it gives me the flexibility to use the X52 stick or continue with my existing stick.
The cheapest this has ever been according to CamelCamelCamel is £81.55, and the average price for this is in the £90 to £100 price range.

I use the throttle section, but never liked the stick itself. Can't be an old Microsoft Sidewinder FFB2. Brilliant stick.

I used to love my ms ffb joystick back when I played freespace 2 but to the drivers even work on modern windows?

I've no issues with anything yet, CLoD is fine. CAP2 seems fine, but I've had some crashes that I think are GPU related, so confident the MS FFB is fine.

There was one on shelf in Crayford; but that was on Monday. I didn't check the price :neutral_face:

funny coincidence, I swear ive never seen a joystick on this site before...
yesterday I scored a joystick for £2 at a charity shop, its a 'thrustmaster top gun fox 2 pro' and it has worked for the few games I tried it on!

Shouldn't really be a problem but people should be aware that this hardware is pretty long in the tooth. It was originally released back in 2004.
I have the replacement to this, the X-52 Pro, and I bought that back in 2010.

I don't see cash back on computer accessories, besides, is OOS.
