Teenages brothers raging their loss while playing " mario smash brothers " while using the chair as a seat, as you can imagine I was not amused, teenagers are now Verboten in the chair.

 I 'll grab some CH pedals or something soon, unfortunately AH sits low on the priority list when it comes to new purchase items.

To be honest, the saitek pedals felt a little " klunky " to me, think I will try the CH pros next.


they are fixable...of course depending on how they broke.

They broke at the vertical stem, I did try and epoxy but the stem to the slider base is the weak point and they broke again after a couple fixes.......

yup that sux :(

You could probably build some pedals since the Saitek electronics are undamaged and you appear to like woodworking.

Greta idea, had I kept them , after 2nd fail on the fix, I round files them to the recycle bin..........do have an old set of ch pedals serial port style, I have wondered if a serial to USB type adapter would allow them to work, never tried that as of yet.  :headscratch:
Whether you think you can or cannot, you are right!

Thats how I use to use mine, until I saved my pennies and bought a USB set. Still have the old analog set down stairs and plan on using them for parts.
