What is the best place on the net to buy the stick and throttle?
CH is a thrustmaster, correct?
And the price is... DAM
Morph <S>
CH is NOT Thrustmaster. CH Products used potentiometers which are 8 bit I think. Thrustmaster uses "Hall Sensors" which are magnetic and are 16 bit. just using randome number to get my point across, 8 bit covers 0-600 steps of movement, hall sensors cover 0-1200 step, double which mean smoother and more accurate. CH is junk these days.
The
Thrustmaster T 16000M Is a decent stick with hall sensors and can be found for $80-$150
The
Thrustmaster throttle is also hall sensors and is and OK throttle for $130
Thrustmaster has a bunch of other options and the prices can climb quick.
Saitex was bought out by Logitech. They are OK and some of the older Saitex stuff can be found on Ebay at a decent price. Amazon has the
X56 on sale for $260 but you get both the throttle and stick.
VKB seems to be the best bang for the buck right now. They start out in the $120 range and climb from there. As "Shane" said get the one with the 8 way hat switch option, and be sure you order the "left" handed or "right handed" stick if you do order. they are diferent.
There are other options and can run up to $1000 if you want to spend the money.
