What are you guys using to control the Trim? I'm using a slider on my Joystick and Its not working the best.

I use one of the hat switches on my stick for trim.

If you are using a slider on the joystick (which is indeed an axis), I would recommend disabling "stick trim where available"

As for me I use one of the sliders of my new brand Logitech Flight Throttle Quadrant . This device adds 3 sliders and 6 buttons to use with Condor.
For the trim It is easy to use but very different from the 3 buttons I used before. (+,-, center)
As I dont see the slider (I am in VR) It is impossible to know where is the zero. I have added a mark on the side of the quadrant to know where it is.
There is no figure at the right of the cockpit as when using a button
No possibility to have an automatic center as with a button.
All that said, the use of this slider is possibly nearer of the RL. Push to go faster to the speed I want and pull to slow...(But I am not a RL pilot :( )
