CH Fighterstick :rock

My hand has been glued to it since the day I got it 6 years ago.

I heard something about the company changing hands and the build quality might have become lower since I got mine, no idea if it's true though.

Had to replace my CH combatstick (6 years) the right Hat Switch went dodgy.  The new stick seems very sensitive and calibration doesn't seem as accurate as the old sweat encrusted one.   Still going to get around to opening the old one up and replacing that hat.  Todo list is getting longer and time shorter,  guess that happens when you get older   :D.

You know, I've heard that from several people, and Semp the most often, that newer more recent builds of CH stuff has been a little flaky.  That's concerning hearing it yet again from Bruv the FPH, who is also a long time CH supporter.  Any more feedback or intel you can give regarding the new stick and problems with it?

the problem with all my ch fighterstick going back about 4 years is that they will lose calibration in a battle.  it happened to me often enough to where I wish the achievement had been available back then.


I got  the x-55 rhino and have yet to lose calibration.  keep in mind that I have always used a self-powered hub.

Started on a laptop with a ... errrr ... dunno dont remember cheapo stick.

Went CH stick and pedals in 2003

Switched to Thrustmaster Warthog this year in May and love it. Have a set of Slaw pedals on order to replace the CH pedals.

Use a single 46 inch screen made by Samsung. Will get a new puter end of year..... after new grafix release.

My latest CH stick is also not up to par with the last two that I've owned.  If I center the trim wheels, the stick will never achieve proper calibration through Windows (CH Manager) or AH.  It's been that way for over a year, so I just deal with the annoyance, but it was a disappointment after not having issues with the other CH sticks over the years.
