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.
