I need a new joystick: ~$50 budget

[Wartzay]

I've been browsing around on newegg and other sites looking at reviews of the various logitech and saitek offerings. What worries me is that almost all of them mention that the logitech joysticks have serious problems with losing rudder calibration after a while and the Saiteks are either super cheaply made(PS33/ST290) or too expensive(x52). Does anyone know of any other joysticks that are fairly reliable and not too expensive?

If there isnt anything else, I was leaning towards this stick, but those rudder problems with logitechs still scare me.

Force feedback isn't needed, But I do need z axis and lots of buttons.

I had one of the logitech extreme3d sticks, it died after about 1 year of light use. YMMV. It's only $20 though, so even if it only lasts a year you can just buy another one

Consider just replacing your Wingman with another Wingman.

if you want that one, you may as well buy it in a store near you because of the shipping cost. and if it's broke you can easily return it.
