Yeah but those old games even with a stick with plenty of buttons you had to also have your keyboard there for various other commands. Like switching power between engine and shields etc. Or the obscure "target missiles" button.

Actually, what I need is the right half of a Switch controller. Hmm...

Yeah, tie fighter was the BEST thing ever.
You deffo need to use the keyboard judiciously
- changing up speeds and recharge rates and targeting options.
The most important non shooty/flying button really that you want is the match speed command (I had a very basic joystick) - although I think it was bound to "enter", which if that is correct must mean I used it quite a lot to remember after so many decades... Also I am pretty sure I could drop in now and remember all the key binds.

Can't help with the space issue, but I would say the £50 I spent on the Thrustmaster Hotas X has been very much worth the purchase and is far from expensive. Just getting to play Tie Fighter has been worth the price and I've had as much enjoyment as many new £50 games. You can also go cheaper if you just want a stick and no separate throttle. I'm now also looking forward to replaying Freespace 2, Starfleet Academy (will need to get hold of Klingon Academy too, which I never played), a few VR games and Flight Sim. I'm sure the £300+ sticks are great and better than what I have, but you don't need to spend that kind of money. Edit: return key is indeed match speed  |

I grabbed a cheap hotas x and haven't looked back, if anything I'd like a turtle beach one to be able to use it on the xbox.

Man alive, the credits on Jedi Survivor are long. There had better be a post credits scene.

Let the speculation begin. There is one extremely obvious candidate, I would say. Ezra Bridger? |

Ezra was a fan of a blaster/light sabre combo, I imagine he's still using one.
