Yokes, Rudder Pedals, & Throttle Quadrants

Postby SubZer0 » Fri Jan 11, 2008 3:55 pm

Howdy y'all!

I'm looking to get a yoke, rudder, and throttle quadrant set. Which is the best available out there? They can each be from different companies, as long as they work well together and I get my money's worth.

CH are highly priced, I would say overpriced.

Saitek do a range of cheaper priced products which I hear are very good quality.

Ok. I think I'll go with Saitek on this one. Thanks for the help. Anyone else have anything to say about this?

Double GBP for USD if you need to.

Don't jump to conclusions. We get ripped off in the the UK. Electric/electronic goods are generally much cheaper in the US.

These prices are for the Saitek Rudder Pedals from Amazon.

I love the saitek yoke, i've used the CH and find the saitek feels more realistic in the handling, the button set up, and with the throttle. the throttle comes with the yoke, yoke cannot be bought separately however another throttle can be bought separately to add more engines.

A lot of people swear by CH stuff, but Saitek has muscled in on their market for a reason: their stuff is really good for the price.

Yea that's what I'm doing. I might go CH for the rudder pedals because the Saitek look so out-of-this-world, and the CH are $20 cheaper from what I can see now. Anyways I have month to make the decision so I have plenty of time to hear what people have to say.

Cheers
