CH or Saitek?

[mikeny]

Are either flight yoke systems good for FSX? The newest one is by Saitek but CH Products gets all the reviews. Ive seen mixed (but mostly good) reviews on both. Saiteks is $130, and CH's without the throttle quadrant is $90.

Sorry, I only see a link for the Saitek. Can you post the URL of the CH?

I thought I didnt see it. I'll get both url's from Amazon:

CH's yoke has been around a while (its a few years old) and the Saitek is fairly new. I do see this phantom key press that scares me with the Saitek yoke but these were issues when they first cam eout in 2007. Im guessing by now, it should be fixed. I hear a lot concerning the CH products that they are the best. I also hear, both are good.

I'd go for the Saitek. I can't give you any more conclusive reasons for doing so, other than it looks cooler!

haha, I was thinking of that reason also
