CH Products Pro Throttle USB with 8-Way Switch3 4-Way Switches 3-Buttons Reviews
| 34 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Very good, but it could have been better, By This review is from: CH Products Pro Throttle USB with 8-Way Switch3 4-Way Switches 3-Buttons (Personal Computers) First of all, I believe this product should be complemented with a good joystick, CH Fighterstick being the first choice. Of course, it can function alone, but I really can't think of any situation where one would need a throttle without a joystick.The device is extremely light compared to similar units. The resistance, however, is slightly stronger, making some kind of fixing it to the table almost mandatory. Either that or you'll have to push it down every time you move it, so the friction does the stabilizing. The motion is linear rather than arcing, which requires some time getting used to. I'm still not sure if this was a good decision. There is a number of hat switches and buttons on the throttle and you'll probably never run out of them. Their placing, however, is not as good as with Cougar's throttle, for example. In my opinion, an ergonomic rework of the unit would be beneficial. In any case, if you need more buttons, programming options make further possibilities...

I had been used to the simple [$$] joysticks with the throttle as a little nob on the side of the thing. This, as part of a HOTAS system (like another CH products jostick), is just worlds apart -- they give you about a bazillion 4-way hat switches, which I use to increment prop pitch, fuel mixtures, supercharger stages, flaps, &c, and three buttons on the front. They also have an interesting mini-joystick, which theoretically one could use as a mouse, although I haven't gotten that to work -- but it is useful for other sorts of analog-action motions, such as the rudder control.The motion is smooth and stable, and it has a large enough base that it doesn't slip around when you're 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful Works as advertised...did not disappoint, Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: CH Products Pro Throttle USB with 8-Way Switch3 4-Way Switches 3-Buttons (Personal Computers) I had the analog game port predecessor to this throttle and it was the ONLY reason I felt any sadness when controllers all went to USB because I could not continue to use that throttle. It was solid as a rock. When my Saitek X35 control system began to give up the ghost after many years of Falcon 4 Allied Force sessions, I looked back to see what had become of the CH Throttle. The upgrade to USB has been very kind to this device.Pros: 1) I love the feel of the throttle. It is solid in your hand, slides easily and for me all buttons are within easy reach 2) The programming software is immensely powerful! I was totally blown away at what you can make this throttle do in the way of programmability...especially if you have any other CH gear (I have the CH Fighterstick but no rudder pedals). 3) There is a control on the throttle you can use as a rudder (if like me you don't want to shell out for pedals just yet). Everyone has their preferences, but I HATE... Read more |
