Was lucky with my controllers, Suncom Hotas and Saitek x45, siming since 1995 , retired the Suncom because of the game port issue then I got the X45, used, great hotas no issue at all and still working great, bought extra ones for back up but I didn't have to used them, they're collecting dust
With all the new hardware out there, I'm building my own, like I like them from my retired Suncom
