I have an old Microsoft Sidewinder joystick and I have noticed that after I use it for an hour or so my hand and wrist begin to hurt, so I have to stop flying.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion as to having experienced my problem and in turn turning to a specific joystick that does not cause pain?

 

Thank you.

Try adjusting it so its lower down or higher up if possible. I've noticed if i have it too high up my wrist begins to hurt as well.

Not my setup below, but a good DIY example of setting something up that is more comfortable. I just have a large lockable side-out keyboard holder that's 80mm lower than desk height. I will need to change this when I decide to grab the new VKB-Sim Gunfighter stick tho.

 

If you are handy, this guy has instructions/ photo's here

There are paid options also depending on stick.

You need a rest for your arm and a loose grip with just the fingers on the stick

Come to think about it, you are absolutely correct. Thank you.
