I'd really like to get both VKB sticks (well they have more than 2, but the 2 in this thread at least), and compared them with other sticks. I'm just so impressed with their pedals, their sticks must be decent. Saying that they have better movement but less precision is interesting when compared to the Warthog. IMO the CH stick has the best precision for AH, with my Warthog being 2nd, but close, it's just tighter and therefore not quite as smooth for shooting for me. I haven't tried the X55, but have an X52pro, but find the spring/base to be a little notchy unless you do some mods. I just picked up a used Cougar in 99% condition for like 40$ USD or so, and it's still very accurate too, but heavy movement as well. Sounds like the VKB are sort of in the middle of CH, Warthog, and Saitek.
Their WW2 stick would be cool for IL2 and such games.
Did you get the 109 keychain trigger with your purchase? I'll put up pics of mine, it's pretty cool, I always get comments and questions on it if anyone needs my keys.
