Another great 1st stick, this stick can be configured for left handed pilots with 16000 anolog state per axis on this stick it's precision and accuracy is excellent. Beaware the old version (green) has older hardware, the new(orange) has the same sensors as Warthog!

Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS X Joystick For PC & PS3
This beginners Hands on Throttle and Stick(HOTAS) setup has sound reputation as a first HOTAS from between $45 - $50USD , with the 12 buttons and 5 axles being entirely programmable and detachable Throttle is a good buy for someone set on a HOTAS, I would recommend the T16000M before if the trottle is what is drawing you to this.
