Need help with my Logitech joystick

Logitech F310 Joystick, USB
Does anyone here happen to own one of these, and if so, what’s your take on it?
To be honest, I'm left-handed, and I just can't seem to find a decent joystick designed specifically for lefties.

A Logitech F310 joystick $20 is honestly hard to call "good" in any capacity—it’s just not there. You really want something better than that? How about this instead:

It’s not actually about the price tag for me; I just need to make sure I can play with my left hand, and looking at the photos, it seems like it's designed specifically for righties.
I mostly just play one specific game, and I really need something reliable for flying the A-10.
I used to have some kind of universal controller, but my dog ended up chewing through the cable, and even before that, it was pretty sluggish whenever I tried to pull off any sharp turns.

This thing works just as well for lefties as it does for righties:

Back in the day at Micro Center, they used to carry the Thrustmaster T.16000M—which was also ambidextrous—but you can't find it in the lineup anymore.

The only real catch is that Logitech (and that Logitech controller too) lacks any way to handle rudder control unless you're using the buttons.

The only real catch is that Logitech (and even that Logitech controller) doesn't offer any way to handle rudder control other than using the buttons on the stick itself.

Okay, now explain that rudder control thing to me like I'm a total newbie.🙂

The picture probably tells the story better than I can. 🙂

You’ve got joysticks that actually let you control things by twisting the stick itself—you know, rotating it on its own axis—rather than just mashing a bunch of buttons.

What about this one?

Yeah, that one’s solid—now the real question is whether it actually works for you if you fly left-handed. You've got the throttle on a slider at the base of the stick, the rudder is handled by twisting, and since all the buttons are programmable, honestly, you’ll have a hell of a time finding anything better for that kind of cash.

Benjamin King2 said:Yeah, that one is a solid choice! I guess the real question is whether it’ll feel right if you're primarily left-handed. You've got the throttle on a slider at the base of the stick, and then the rudder is handled by twisting the shaft. Plus, since all the buttons are fully programmable, I honestly think it might be hard to find a better deal for that kind of money.

Looking at the photos, it seems like it might be an ambidextrous design, right?
I actually just use the arrow keys for my throttle anyway!
thanks! 🙂

No, I actually gave it a shot and it just isn't working for me, unfortunately.
Does anyone happen to have any other recommendations?
I've been looking everywhere, but it seems like the Logitech Attack 3 is impossible to find for order online right now.😢

Thanks so much for the help! 🙂
I actually managed to snag a $20 Logitech Attack 3
through an online marketplace. Apparently, it’s only been used once before,
so it should be in great shape. It feels really comfortable in my hand, though I guess I might just be biased because I'm so excited about it
. Honestly, having 10 buttons feels like total overkill for what I need, but I think I can make it work!

So, what about that Logitech setup? Honestly, the selection of joysticks we get here in the States is pretty damn slim.
