How to choose an MSFS 2024 controller

Start with the feel you want to keep, not a product name. FlightRigMatch organizes candidates into five practical categories.

Joystick

Choose a Joystick if you want one-handed control for aircraft such as fighters or light planes. It is often easier to fit on a smaller desk.

Choose a Yoke for an airliner-style control feel. Check desk depth and mounting before you commit.

A Throttle separates power control, while a Rudder moves yaw control to your feet. You can add either later instead of buying everything at once.

HOTAS combines a Joystick and Throttle as a set or paired setup. It is a straightforward way to create two-handed controls with fewer purchases.
