    My budget is between 30$~40$.

    The one I am looking at that cost a bit more is the Hotas X, looks like it will be more stable than a single joystick base like I have now.

    I have the logitech you mentioned, and it a great budget stick. Very nice option if you're not sure if you're going to like flight sims, but still want a good stick. I like mine alot, it feels quite nice, and has alot of buttons.
