I've recently tried out using two sticks, and I quite like it. I'd like to get a proper stick for my left hand, does anyone have any recommendations?

None really off the top of my head... but a quick Google search found this Although I'm left limbed and eye dominate, I've learned to use mice, and joysticks right handed. But, like you said, you would like a proper left handed stick because of the two joystick setup. :D

I don't think I've ever seen a left handed Joystick, unless you count the really cheap ones without the hand rest, throttle and few buttons :D

Edit: And now I have seen everything...

I checked on Google, but it is hard to get a grasp of what makes a good product by just looking at it. A lot of review sites are very ambiguous in this area too, many of them giving any stick 9/10 "cause."

If anyone has any insight into left sticks I would appreciate it.

You could try this. It's designed for either hand, and it's also very cheap.

I've mentioned a few times the Saitek Cyborg line of controllers are left/right hand switch able, I used one for a couple of years for flight sims, it was really comfortable,

This is the current one, looks pretty decent.

I have a Saitek Avi8tor, and it's more or less entirely ambidextrous, the only "biased" part is the little flip-up cover on one of the buttons, but if you left it up all the time, or took it off, it'd be perfect.

Check Razer and Logitech products, they tend to have some good ones

Saitek used to sell fully customisable sticks where you had an allen key which would allow you to configure the set up to your liking.

Great for southpaws ;)

Yup this is the one I use for left handed control, however it is cheap and will not stand up to a lot of use.
