CH Products USB Combatstick 568 with 8-Way Switch & 128 Programmable Functions
- Same review but different product "CH-Top Notch"Hi I have been flight siming for quite sometime and recently made the Jump to real world piloting both fixed wing and rotary aircraft.The fellas I fly fixed wing with and my instructor for rotary aircraft all agree that my use of flight programs with this equipment has translated into a more fluid, focused training experience.The only thing one does not quite experience is the actual mechanical tactile elements and forces of "G" associated with real world flying.Otherwise When in X-Plane, FX or 2004 Microsoft programs you are real as you program it.This is also true of older Ubisoft titles which fly well and much more acurately than with Logitech controller Sticks.Logitech has just come out with controllers like Ch-Products and Saitek.The Jury is not in on these yet.Try landing on the pitching deck of a carrier in Lomac IL2 or Pacific fighters.You`ll get a real thrill/chill and a sense of accomplishment.Especially when battle dam-aged I love CH-Products READ what you can do W/CMS Software.We have Joy Lt Scott St. John

- When failure is not an option...I have used this particular joystick for over 10 years and I am quite satisfied with it's operation and quality.I only recently purchased another because gameport controllers are being phased out for the USB style.CH Products makes the best controllers in my humble opinion.They are tough, rugged and precise, with 128 programmable functions there is little this stick can't handle.Combine that with a Pro Throttle and Pro Pedals from CH Products and the world of flight sims is yours to conquer.CH Products USB Combatstick 568 with 8-Way Switch & 128 Programmable Functions

- Fast delivery, great productA great value and an essential for any realistic fighter sim (e.g. Falcon 4.0: Allied Force).But consider the CH Products Fighterstick -- you may find that the added realism the Fighterstick provides is worth the extra 50 or so dollars.

- Excellent as alwaysI used to have the older version of this stick made to plug into a game port on the sound card. USB port makes it a lot easier to install. Make sure you calibrate before using. The previous version has taken a ton of use and is VERY reliable. I'm sure this one will perform just as well.

- well made and accuratei've had the Combatstick for about a month now.My microsoft sidewinder finally gave out after 7 years.the combat stick is very easy to use, and setup.I have very large hands so i like its size alot, but people with small hands would have a hard time reaching all the buttons. overall i really enjoy it.
