Are there any alternative to Logitech's switch panel and radio? I see people using them but I find it strange that there's no mid-range alternative to these without having to step in the big boy shoes of RealSimGear stuff.
Not that I know of, but sure some things probably exist(ed). It's kinda sad because I think most of Logitech's stuff is pretty low-quality. The throttles and rudder pedals are just kind of sad when you see the build quality of nice products.
I have a Honeycomb Alpha Flight Yoke and a plethora of Logitech gear for everything else (throttle quad until Honeycomb drops their own, rudder pedals, and some super basic avionics). I bought all this just for 2020 and it has worked great so far.
The yoke is pricey @ $250 USD but it is completely worth it. The build quality is phenomenal. Better than any real yoke I've ever used, plus it has a lot of basic switches already on it that replicate a small GA aircraft faithfully.
