Any small button pads and mini joystick you guys are using?

[Frag]

Hi guys,

I am using a TH Warthog Hotas but always wanted to have a small pad that have few buttons and mini joystick to operate FLIR cams/targeting system. Something not too big (like 6 inches wide) that could rest beside my throttle.

Any of you guys have something that you could recommend? Would be awesome to have few new axis and buttons to operate the targeting system. The TH warthog is a bit limited as far as axis goes.

Can't go wrong with an Xbox controller.  Or just buy a USB zero delay interface card and make your own, it's actually very easy to do.

I also agree that Xbox Controller may be the best "cheap" solution.

If you want something more "flight sim" specific, you'll have to look around.
Here's some "button boxes" that might be desireable:
