Gaming Gear
Here's the gear behind PPRGaming's Star Citizen sessions, plus a few picks at different budgets if you're putting together your own space-sim setup. Prices and availability change, so check Amazon for current details.
What I fly with
This is what I use.
Logitech G X56 H.O.T.A.S. (Saitek X56 Rhino)
A full stick-and-throttle set made for space sims. The stick has a mini analog thumbstick for strafing, the split twin throttles and stacks of hats and rotaries take a lot of Star Citizen bindings, and you can swap the springs to change how stiff the stick feels.
View on Amazon →Logitech G910 Orion Spectrum
A full-size mechanical board with nine programmable G-keys and per-key RGB. The extra macro keys and the lighting profiles are handy for keeping track of the many ship, mining and on-foot keybinds in Star Citizen.
View on Amazon →Logitech G502 X PLUS Wireless RGB (Black)
The wireless, RGB version of the G502 X, with LIGHTSPEED wireless, LIGHTFORCE hybrid optical-mechanical switches, 13 programmable controls and USB-C charging (POWERPLAY wireless charging compatible). No cable drag while you move between stick and mouse, and the free-spin/ratchet wheel works well for throttle or power-triangle adjustments.
View on Amazon →Logitech G PRO X Wireless Lightspeed (Black)
LIGHTSPEED wireless with 20+ hours of battery, 50 mm PRO-G drivers and DTS Headphone:X 2.0 virtual surround to help you tell where ships and gunfire are coming from. The Blue VO!CE mic filter keeps party and org comms clear, and with no cable you can lean back or step away from the desk mid-flight.

These are recommended picks, not gear I own. They're well-regarded options for space and flight sims at different budgets.
HOTAS & flight sticks
Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS One
An affordable starter HOTAS for PC and Xbox, with a detachable throttle and twist/rocker rudder. Good for trying stick flying before you spend more.
View on Amazon →Thrustmaster T.16000M FCS HOTAS
A long-time space-sim favorite: a Hall-effect (H.E.A.R.T.) magnetic-sensor stick for precise aim, an ambidextrous design, and the TWCS throttle with a mini-stick and rocker.
View on Amazon →Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog
An all-metal replica of the A-10C stick and dual throttle with 55 programmable buttons. Heavy, durable and built for a dedicated sim setup.

Razer Basilisk V3 (wired)
An ergonomic wired mouse with 11 programmable buttons and a HyperScroll tilt wheel. Lots of bindable buttons for not much money.
View on Amazon →Corsair Scimitar RGB Elite (wired)
A 12-button side panel that slides to fit your thumb. Useful if you would rather bind ship and mobiGlas functions on the mouse.
View on Amazon →Logitech G PRO X Superlight 2
An ultra-light (about 60 g) wireless esports mouse with the HERO 2 sensor. Best for fast FPS aiming and less so for heavy keybinding.

HyperX Alloy Origins Core (TKL)
A compact tenkeyless mechanical board in an aluminum body. Leaves more desk room for a stick and throttle.
View on Amazon →Razer BlackWidow V4
A full-size mechanical board with six dedicated macro keys, a multi-function roller and a magnetic wrist rest.
View on Amazon →SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Wireless
Adjustable-actuation OmniPoint magnetic switches, an OLED screen and wireless or USB-C connection, in a tenkeyless layout.
