What is the cheapest HOTAS controller on the market?

I was looking around for the cheapest and most usable hotas controller on the market. I did a comparison of many types of controllers and so far after having read the saitek x52 pro review it gets my vote as the cheapest out there on the market. At the same time it has everything you want in a HOTAS however it seems to be plagued by some real quality issues. Cheap at a price.

I have read a lot of reviews on amazon and on the internet about users that have both loved and at the same time complained bitterly about the saitek x52 pro flight control system...

Unfortunately if you decide to not go with the saitek brand than the next logical choice would be to have a look at the Logitech G940

however, the g940 is much dearer than the saitek x52 pro. But the extra you pay for gets you force feedback... and in fact if you want force feedback the g940 is really your only option!

I know that force feedback is really good with racing games, yet im not entirely convinced of its usefulnes in flight sims. Although i have read that having a ff enabled controller on a flight sim gives you tactile feedback on the flight dynamics, ie being able to feel the airframe shake just before a stall.

My last ff controller was the logitech ff wingman. It worked, but had a terrible centre and deadzone and made a terrible noise as the ff motors kicked in. For now ill stick to a non ff stick thanks!
