What customers say about "Key Specs"
CH Products Fighterstick USB
  • Switches are industrial grade and the molded stick and throttle are very strong and feel like a quality device.
  • Happy with superior control and total immersion this is the system to go with.
  • The buttons are sharp and precise with next to no wobble.
  • It has enough buttons to not require any button presses on a keyboard, apart from letters for typing in solar system names.
  • Throttle slider on the Fighterstick is pretty basic and its easy to bump the trim of the analog stick out of whack.
CH Products Combatstick USB
  • Super smooth tension - very light on the touch for very precise movements!
  • Joystick is very accurate and detects even the slightest movement.
  • It's incredibly smooth, very precise even for subtle inputs, the buttons feel perfectly responsive.
  • The throw is fantastic, and the stick feels solid and good to use.
  • The spring tension is insanely weak. It's extremely hard to make fine minute movements of the stick.

What customers say about "Size & Weight"
CH Products Fighterstick USB
  • Large base, light weight. The first thing you notice is how beefy and well-built it is.
  • The light weight will make you wonder how it's going to stay on your desk, until you realize that they throw resistance is very high.
  • Really solid, long throw joystick with great ergonomics and all the buttons you would want.
  • The large size and lightness makes it all that easier to move around.
  • It was very lightweight and felt totally cheap product.
CH Products Combatstick USB
  • Decent weight product. I don't think this is gonna accidentally throw of a table.
  • The weight almost seems on the borderline of too light and just right.
  • This 'stick' is about as solid as they come! Heavy, feels very good in hand, and durable.
  • The joystick is weighted, and this makes a BIG difference for anyone who has used the 'light' sticks.
  • Joystick is large and seems to be made for larger hands.

What customers say about "Features"
CH Products Fighterstick USB
  • No flashing light, backlit buttons or the like, just solid construction and amazing control.
  • Nothing feels cheap on these, the buttons feel solid and the plastic is durable.
  • The software allows you to take multiple CH products and tie them together, or to add programming for special functions.
  • The software is pretty good, physically it's very sturdy and it feels solid.
  • As you can see, not for Left handers, but most Flight sticks are not. No rudder, I miss that.
CH Products Combatstick USB
  • Programming software it comes with cannot be beat! You can make any button do what you want it to do.
  • Easily combined with any other Throttles/Joysticks without conflict due to it's own single USB plug-n-play.
  • USB cable is strong and made with quality plastic.
  • The calibration of the stick is easy with the CH control manager and CH products are generally of good quality.
  • The controller software is horrendous and i dont reccomend installing it unless absolutely necessary.
