There are sticks, yokes and even rudder pedals with FFB, from a couple different vendors (for example the ones made by the Swiss company Brunner) but they cost thousands. Unfortunately, AFAIK, there is nothing in the lower cost segment.

Oh thank you, found this - https://www.brunner-innovation.swiss/product/cls-e-joystick/ which is just about exactly what I was hoping for, and is even allowing interchangeable grips including TMs.

Price levels compare with DD wheel base.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if someone could license brand names like Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Cirrus, Garmin, or Cessna and sell reasonably priced panels mimicking instrument panels of those makers with their help?

An LCD touchscreen and a plastic overlay would do wonders and still be a reasonable compromise.
