Feedback for a new Joystick

[Tinribs]

All my CH products (still) sit in the boxes,

3d extreme pro works fine, i buy um two at a time for 30 bucks a piece and they usually last around 6 to 8 months.

the computer in my skull can only do a few things at a time so all the CH stuff is just to much to do all at once.

I do use the throttle but for the buttons only.

Like froger four years ago I went and bought 2 logitech extreme 3d pros expecting to have to replace one of em pretty quickly and Im still using the first stick, I gave the second one to my boy.Ive never tried ch stuff and for the money they charge am never likely to.I play various flight sims nearly every day so the stick gets a lot of use.
Ive had saitek sticks in the past which I can only describe as over priced and over rated however like most people I like the x52 throttle and pro pedals which I still use.
Logitech stuff gets slated by most people but I can honestly say the 3d pro is the most comfortable and reliable stick I have ever owned and for the money the build quality is very good also has a nice wide stable base.

CH Fighter stick for small hands (photos)

<S>

Thx, already seen that, but for those who haven't, good link.
My main point, though, was to say there's already a bunch of sticks that fit like glove to most hands. So to me modding a stick to fit is equivalent to the legendary Cougar case: buy what's claimed to be the best and mod it to really work as it should for the price. A CH with a Logitech grip would be perfect...

In my use even the "El Cheapo's" last long enough. Even the first one would still work after 8 years of AH, but the centering spring slipped off position right after I had cleaned and lubricated everything inside, so I decided to spend some €30 for the newer USB model, since I had also moved from Win98 to XP.

As someone said already in other tread in a plane they are mounted low most people have them up on desk. This is why the top hats seem far to reach. If you were to mount it lower the stick would fit right the way it is in real life.
 A small piece of foam that I put on mine and posted is a easy fix. I have big hands but due to accident have some limitation to hand and fingers. I have made this fix to fit my needs. I thought I would share it for those that say they can't reach the top hats.

CH fighter stick, pro throttle and pedals   Everything else is just a waste of money IMO.

Ya what he said. I threw away my old CH setup when I got USB. Only changed because of USB. Old setup worked good, lasted years.

Have had ChPro stick and pedals for 10 years - still going strong. looks like they are out of the box.
