Currently (3 yrs) have CH Peds. Used to have Saitek (better layout) but they got to the point where they were always locking up, either right or left ped forward.

my Saitek peddles ive had about 2 years and they work but they get caught up, bind up if I push to hard, they have come off the tracks, the center "tension" is broke, ill most likely go CH once these are toast completly. I just dont like how close they are together.

The spacing is the only gripe I have with CH pedals.

I've had mine for ten years or more and the rudder function still works great. I did lose the right toe brake pot a couple years ago and just haven't replaced it.

Another thing I will add about CH gear is you only have to calibrate it once, and I'm talking over several years. Even after unplugging and plugging them back in, as long as they are plugged back into the same port they came out of.
