Flight Simulator enthusiasts will shell out hundreds of dollars for one of the best joysticks for PC, but if you're just dipping your toe in the waters of realistic control schemes it's wise to pick a budget model to start off with. Amazon's helping you do just that this week, with a $20 discount on the Logitech G Extreme Pro 3D. This budget joystick offers up plenty of functionality for its already affordable $39.99 MSRP and represents stunning value at just $19.99 (opens in new tab).
This is just $2 off the lowest price we've ever seen for the starter stick, but that $17 position hasn't been spotted since all the way back in 2016. These days, $19.99 seems to be the limit - we haven't spotted a better price for the last few years at least.
This is a one-handed affair, with a simple stick offering up twisting control and three axis of movement overall. Throttle control is baked into the base, with an eight-way hat switch up top and 12 programmable buttons to play with as well. That's all you need to get started in Flight Simulator and more - we really haven't seen a better deal for beginners in a long time.
