Saitek or CH

Postby pengyman89 » Wed Nov 07, 2007 9:19 pm

noticed this same thread earlier, just wondering if anyone had an updated opinion. From everything i've seen and read the saitek rudder pedals seems to be the way to go but what about the yoke? The Saitek yoke looks decent enough and the detached throttle quadrant sounds more convenient than the CH setup.

any feedback is good feedback,
Thanks!

I've tested the Saitek yoke a few days ago and I can say it feels a lot better than the CH one I used to have. The detached throttle controls are way better than those small CH ones. It also looks less than a toy, if you know what I mean.....

Crash ;)

What is the best yoke and throttle??? You guys have suggested Saitek but i have only seen the CH yoke.

The CH yoke looks realistic, however the Saitek Joysticks look like futuristic fighter jet joysticks ;D

Does the Saitek Yokes looks like Cyborgs? Pictures would be nice

I just got my Saitek Yoke and so far Im pretty impressed.  I have toyed with the CH yoke and the saitek feels more solid. My only gripe is the table mount which allows the yoke to tilt down if you pull on it wrong.
