You Can Fly Planes With a Real Yoke in MSFS. Here Are the Best Ones

One of the great things about Microsoft Flight Simulator is that it allows you to use USB peripherals like joysticks to make the experience more authentic and enjoyable. Luckily for us, flight simulation is more popular than ever, and as a result, we have a wealth of high quality flight simulation products available to us. With so many products available, it can be difficult to know which ones are worth your time, so we collected a list of the best yokes and joysticks available right now for use with MSFS, or any flight simulator.

Before we get started, the most important thing to consider when purchasing these kinds of peripherals is what kind of flying you will be using them for. For example, are you looking to fly military jets? A flight stick would be a great option since they have been designed based on the controls of military aircraft. Just looking to fly a small cessna around your hometown? Then a traditional yoke and switch setup would add a lot of realism to your daily flights.
