do a system restore. They say no drivers are needed with this unit but the CH software loaded something in my USB ports that made them choke. Hopefully CH will someday make a new updated software package that will not mess up my ports. Until then I will suffer with the Thrustmaster TWCS and Stick. The Thrustmaster Target software has never hung up my USB ports or anything else. The CH hardware is top notch so if you can use them in your game by just using DX assignments in the game configuration panel then the CH FighterStick and Throttle would be very good as a HOTAS setup.
I was disappointed by the lack of a handle twist. I know that's not how airplanes work, but airplanes have rudder pedals built in. I don't want to screw around under my desk bolting one to the floor, and I sure don't need to be stubbing my feet on stuff down there. But I could get around this by using a throttle with a rocker, like the Thrustmaster TWCS.
No, the real problem is that it Just... Feels... Weird.
That twin-rocker centering design is probably sturdy as heck, but I just feel so confined when I try to move it and they won't quite go the way I expect, and try as I might, I simply can't even get myself to actually plug it in. I guess I'll give the thing away to an even older gamer. Maybe he'll appreciate it.
I'm 28, and I just returned home to CH Products with this stick, the CH Fighterstick.
I'm not going to go over the pro-cons of it all; instead I will go over the individual features and try to stay as objective as possible.
Large base, light weight. The first thing you notice is how beefy and well-built it is.
The buttons are sharp and precise with next to no wobble(check out your Logitech - put your finger on a button, and wiggle it around without activating. That's what I mean.).
The axis movement is sharp with only a small amount of slop. I'm somewhat concerned with the slop in the X axis - I don't recall the Flightstick Pro having it, and it is noticeable. To be fair, it's also much less than the slop found in any Logitech and CERTAINLY any Saitek stick. I have a fair idea of how to fix it, but doing so would void the excellent 2-year warranty. I'm not sure if it's bad enough to send in for warranty work, since it's already worlds better than cheaper sticks.
The light weight will make you wonder how it's going to stay on your desk, until you realize that the throw resistance is very low - you can easily move this joystick through all its ranges of motion with your pinky. This is important since ability to keep the stick in a rested hold can greatly impact accuracy.
The price, good god the price. People say that it's expensive, but if it lasts 4 years(not at all a difficult feat for a CH joystick), you're going to make the money back compared to Logitech or Saitek sticks(which will likely need at least one replacement). So, really, the price is actually quite low for what you get.
The major downside a lot of people see when looking at this stick is the fact that it's not a twist stick. For years and years I was a fan of the twist stick, but my accuracy never was quite as good as I felt it could be. I have since learned that this is due to unintended axis movement, the bane of all twisty sticks. A good set of pedals and a good, solid, non-twist stick will fix that right up.
Compared to other offerings:
Logitech budget-bin sticks: No comparison. More accurate, less fatiguing, more reliable. CH will be less expensive once you factor in replacements. Usually are twisty, so that can be seen as an advantage.
Saitek budget-bin sticks: Same as above.
Logitech G940: Harder. This one has some documented return to center issues, but is otherwise a solid buy. I doubt it is made to the same specs as CH products are, but at least it's somewhat cheaper for throttle+stick+pedals. Still, I had trouble choosing this after going through so many of logitechs cheaper sticks.
Warthog: Expensive. Hall sensors are nice, but the high-quality pots CH uses are just as good. Metal construction is a huge plus. A solid choice, but Thrustmaster has terrible customer support. If you can live with that, and afford the higher price tag, this is the stick for you.
Cougar: Warthog do everything the cougar does, and far better. Defer to the Warthog if you're considering a Thrustmaster stick.
TM16000M: Hall sensors are nice, right up until you use super-cheap methods of locking them in place. Better off using one of the budget-bin offerings from Logitech or Saitek.
Saitek X52: Does not compare. The huge center detent of the X52 is extremely difficult to work with, and since Saitek and Mad Catz got intertwined their QC has plummeted.
Saitek X65f: Does not compare. Gimmick force sensing that Saitek cum Mad Catz will say is military type, but in reality the concept was rejected by the military for good reason. Reduced QC seems to be even more apparent here, with many reports of return-to-zero issues.
