CH Pro Peds

Another feature that's not mentioned is the ability of having differintial braking with the Pro Peds. Makes maneuvering on the ground much easier. If you like car racing games, you just lock the peds in place and you have both accelerator and brake peds.

CH Pedals (non-pro version on a USB converter).

CH Pro Pedals

Krusty · « **Reply #35 on:** December 13, 2007, 03:08:18 PM »

^-- same as spatula, only I didn't have a convertor so I hacked them directly into the gameport, bypassing the need to piggy-back onto an existing gameport stick.

Long story, but MS used proprietary means of mapping their sticks (at least, *I* don't understand it!) so my prec pro (gameport) won't work with the CH pedals piggy back plug. Without the missing axis', the pedals won't be recognized in windows, so I had to hardwire the power to the ground to "fake it" for 3 axis, then use actual inputs from the rudder on the Z axis, and viola, it works!

Saitek's are better that CH's?

Better? Not sure... More expensive? Yes. The average CH Pro peds run 90-100 dollars, whereas the Saitek peds run about 120 dollars. Probably because they're new and have to recoup production costs more than the long-run CH pedals.

Twisty, peadals would get too complicated and I do not have enough room for them.
Logitechs are my favorite cheap stick

CH Fighterstick
CH Mach II for throttle / rudder
Toe switches for other stuff

I don't have the sidewinder any more - turned it into one of these:

IMO big 'ol leg muscles are not physiologically adapted for fine control of analog devices like rudder and are better suited to digital on/off switches. Hand muscles and their fine motor control are better suited to rudder.

Yes, I'm a nutcase, but it works for me.
