I don't know how bad a X65 is, but trust me, after using a G940 for a year I know for sure that there can't be anything worse than that joystick and the company that makes them. I wish I waited a couple of months and used the 300 euro's I paid for it (plus some extra) for a TM Warthog. I still regret that.
Yes the complete setup is an awesome feature, I love having an HOTAS + rudder pedals, but the FFB slop in the joystick and the reversal bug in the throttle and rudder still makes this setup unbearable for the price they ask.
